That's a pretty old story. If I remember, there's a book and he did the talk show circuit in the mid or late 90's

The author needs to learn the definition of "brevity," then excercise some.

GoSeahawks · 05-24-2004, 02:13 PM

I really enjoyed that read. Thanks

You know, people publish things much longer than this regularly. Those objects are called books.

nfg22 · 05-24-2004, 02:57 PM

I didn't realize that he had posted this to Barnes & Noble.com. It would have been a better read as a journal where you could get updates to the story as it went along. That's how it appears that it was originally published. I'm just bitching because I should have read this while I was at home, not while I was at work. Obviously if I thought the story sucked, I would have stopped reading after the first page.

So why rip the author for a lack of brevity? I doubt his target audience was "people who want something to read at work."

Lol, or maybe lunch.

You do buy good lunches.

Desnudo · 05-24-2004, 04:42 PM

I like the summary format and I found the story engrossing. Once it's over, there's no need to maintain a diary format. Give me a beginning, a middle, and an end.

This thread has scared me into not reading the link.

It's a great story worth your time. But make sure you have an hour or so to read it.

An hour? How slow do you guys read?

You can get through it in twenty, thirty minutes tops.
