Give me the most famous femme fatale

/lit/,

So I just got accepted as a transfer to UC Berkeley for English. Given that I'm coming from a city college, what should I expect in terms of course difficulty?

Bonus: Any suggestions/advice about housing?

What are the Bond novels like?

Completely new to this guy and am looking for some advice as to the best way to approach him and his intimidating corpus...

Particularly, are his longer works really worth the effort? In the same way that, say, Gravity's Rainbow or Ulysses merit their own vested struggles?

This is disturbing. No seriously, has anyone else read this?

So, I am, cliched as it might be, an aspiring writer who has a few ideas and can't decide which to write. I want to develop them out, but I keep getting distracted doing little bits on different ideas and never get anywhere as a result. So, I figured this seemed like a decent place to toss up short little blurbs and see what people would actually read.

>Mythic North
A sword and sorcery fantasy, ala Conan, mixed with Lovecraftian elements about a barbarian with a winter spirit sealed into him. The world is one with countless city-states and more savage semi-civilized tribes who all have at least one demigod that factors in, either 'natural' children of the gods or mighty mortals who were 'adopted' and granted a spark of divinity, or more rarely mortals who have slain one of the former types and sort of stolen that power instead. But for several generations there have been next to no new demigods and the actual gods have grown long silent. The city-states and barbarians tend to fall into seasonal conflicts to prove their 'city god' is the greatest.

To the north, there is a massive frozen wasteland, a place of monsters and the like. Though it goes unnoticed to most of the big cities, the tribes have noticed that they are being slowly driven south as the edges of this wasteland expand, slowly but surly each season. The story would involve a cult worshiping a group of Lovecraftian beings in these reaches, attempting to awaken them. The gods sealed the beings in the north, creating the frozen land in the process, and have had to devote more of themselves to keeping it sealed over the generations, now almost entirely having to focus on it so they don't break free.

I need help finding stronger support for my thesis/confirming that my current support is adequate for The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger.

My thesis is that despite Holden's past in retrospect, he is still a failure and will never cease to be a failure.

My examples are as following
The merry-go-round depicts how Holden's life is on repeat and the future is no different than the past and he will continue to meet the same failures, as he has failed now four times in school and will continue to do so.

Phoebe Caufield never receives the brass ring from Holden, ergo he will never complete any task or achieve anything.

Those are the two supports I have I'm looking to one more and something I have in mind is how Holden can't hold a conversation with several characters he meets throughout the book and his attitudes towards them.

Thanks again for any responses I get /lit/ :]
