I should say before continuing that my summer has been uncommonly crazy, and therefore I'm only at about 18% of the book so far. On the assumption that so much has already been said about the book, my strategy has been to make a list of attention-getting terms and Kindle errors. It's kind of boring in a way, but also maybe valuable. I haven't had any feedback yet, and I'd actually appreciate some comments from people who have read the book! There are a few odd items here and there that I've flagged (weird umlauts and the like) that I'd appreciate outside opinion on. Over at Emdashes, I’ve been posting little updates the last few weeks.

I'm flattered to be listed with these other folks, and appreciative to everybody involved in IS for the community effort. I've already learned things this time around that I missed the three times before, thanks to readers here. Hey, thanks for mentioning Journeyman!

The mroe I got into the book the less I wanted to write about it on my blog, and the less I wanted to read about it online. I have to admit that I may not be a 21st century reader, as the delight in finding myself in an insular world created by my own brain and a good author is cramped by sharing it with anonymous others. Also the pace was slow--I finished earlier this week. Now that I'm done I'm more inclined to play along. You know, it’s funny.

After beginning the novel on August 3, we've just pulled even with the Infinite Summer group. The students have great things to say about the novel as they plow through it, and have really been interested in the conversations here. Cheers! Thanks for the shout-out to the Infinite Jest course!
