Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

Oh, I get it now.  The intent was to refrain from commentary on the book until it's all over?  My bad.

I will read anything I don't have to download.  Can't do it at work.

Incidentally, I nominate JG Ballard's "Crash" as a book we should read.

Well, I was waiting for others to finish, for fear of ruining plot developments and details.

I'm simply not clicking the thread until i finish.

That's a shame, since the author is posting in the thread.

LMNO

I guess I better finish up quickly, then.

I'm glad I caught that.  It did make me go back and reread what I'd posted, just to be on the safe side.

besides with each book getting its own topic its not like you could stop spags from bumping it

That would be awesome, especially if we can talk them into staying for more than a couple of posts. Didn't Wes Unruh make a few posts here last year?
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

Edward Wilson, but close enough.

Wes used to link to my blog, back when I still blogged under my Cain moniker, though, so presumably he was aware of this place.

I met ed and wes at esozone, and they were aware of us. If only in passing.
