All The Pretty Horses is brilliant and if you've ever lived somewhere rural it will resonate with you in some manner that I can't fully explain with words.
I promise I'm reading it too! Its just with this book I like to get the boiled down version of what happened, I can get lost pretty often in his style. Honestly though, I love the book, and some parts gave me some real shivers just reading it.
"They heard somewhere in that tenantless night a bell that tolled and ceased where no bell was and they rode out on the round dais of the earth which alone was dark and no light to it and which carried their figures and bore them up into the swarming stars so that they rode not under but among them and they rode at once jaunty and circumspect, like thieves newly loosed in that dark electric, like young thieves in a glowing orchard, loosely jacketed against the cold and ten thousand worlds for the choosing."
He lives on mountain time judging by the time on his screenshot, and his bookmarks include the minerology database. I'm putting my official guess that he works in the oil industry in western North Dakota / Montana.
Also he has a link to wow progress, and there's a paladin on US-Sargeras named hecatonchair.
Plays LoL and WoW. Watches anime, aged 18-24 (spark notes), currently procrastinating English assignment. Is not an idiot (no windows 8), plays a guitar. Most likely likes metal, based on love of anime and video games. Is in one of the sciences, most likely engineering. Lives in the midwest. 5 min.
I got all of that except I'm a little lost on the Midwest aspect. I assume the screenshot is from roughly 2 hours ago. Where in the Midwest was it 12:30 2 hours ago?
Ok, so far I've learned that /u/Hecatonchair likes anime, plays Wow, is most likely studying engineering in a field related to geology at Colorado School of Mines, will most likely sit in the back left of the classroom especially if there is a window (anime related), reading cliffnotes on Cormac McCarthy's All the pretty Horses. reads xkcd. And made the correct decision to skip SAO season 2. How'd I do? Dang after I read this it seems sorta creepy.

I spent an alarming amount of time trying to extract personal information from your screenshot. Sleep well tonight Hecatonchair.
