I'm new here and I don't know where to start reading Bakker. Is there like a guide to reading his books?

What are some downright retarded ideas you've had for stories?
I can think of 2 off the top of my head
The first was about a company that genetically engineererd a species of fish to be suicidal so that they can be used as fishing bait and they'll swim your line towards other fish so they'd get eaten
The other was a geopolitical thriller about a group of terrorists who built 365 replicas of the world trade center and planned to trap American's in them and replicate 9/11 every day for an entire year

>during lunch the beautiful new girl I occasionally spoke with sat with me since both of our closer friends didn't come that day
>we somehow get to the topic of dating
>she says that she doesn't like any of the traditions of courtship, flirting, teasing, etc. If a guy likes her then he should just come and say it and she'll go on a date with the guy, she has no reason to say no
>keeps bringing this up over and over, how a guy should just ask and she'll say yes
>I say that no, all of that romanticism is an essential part of the courtship process and a relationship is ultimately empty and dry without any lovey dovey bouquet and dinner date stuff
>we go to English class
>teacher's showing Dead Poets Society
>when the movie's finished I come up to her
>tell her: "see, I'm a lot like the guys from the movie and not a robot like what you described you want. I hope that watching the film has made you understand me a little better."

Just a couple of weeks later she got together with another guy, and is still with him seven years later.
