It's total spam (I think it's been done before, with the same book no less). But we're reclaiming it for actual use, it would seem.

You're absolutely right (which you should be used to). If we were hipsters, we would be 'upcycling' the discussion. :D

Carla has been in here before touting Olin Fisher.

We need a rule that you can't promote your book or other product until you've been a member for 3 months and made 150 non-self-promoting comments.

[Félix]

Yeah. A rule.

By that rule, can we start pushing books like this one now?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yes Phil, as you are up to 7,833 comments you may push.

[Félix]

Is that all he has? Piker.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Perhaps he is a late bloomer.

[Félix]

Maybe it's quality instead of quantity.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Mm.

Spam spam spam. Spamidy spam spam spam spam.

i absolutely need coffee for the two books i've been slowly reading for over a month. i think i've read over a dozen other books in the meantime. i love them both, overall they have been wonderful experiences and the writing styles have been entertainingly dense... but if i don't read them during daylight hours, with a cup of coffee in hand, it means instant sleepytime.

the books: The Worm Ouroboros and David Copperfield.

I had/have the same problem with David Copperfield. I love it, but I've stopped about halfway through because it's just soooo long. I plan on picking it up again and finishing it, but other books keep intruding.

My niece loves those. They're very big in Hawaii. I've forgotten what they call them.

are you reading it for the Serials Serially group? that's why i picked it up. i'm really behind on reading & commenting in that group's various chapters this-through-that threads.

No, I just decided that I haven't read enough Dickens and figured it was a good place to start. I've read A Christmas Carol and abridged versions of Oliver Twist and Great Expectations, so I really need to experience more (complete) Dickens. I've given up any and all group reads for the time being, they make me feel pressured to keep up or slow down, depending on the nature of the group and its discussion.

Where the fuck is Carla?

[Phil]

At a coffeehouse, reading Osin Fisher.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

She'll be back here before long, pimping some other book. I wonder what her thread title will be? The best book to read with tacos?

[Cheri]

The best book to read at a Tupperware party for assholes.

[evie]

The best book to read after you've read Osin Fisher.

Phil, Ha! I can spam my own books when I'm good and ready. Just give me time. I'm still thinking up creative thread names. That takes longer than writing a book for some of us.

The Longest Journey is a good book to read with coffee.
