Keep at it, man! You’re really on a roll.

And yeah, watch out for the RSI and other physical injuries. (Who knew writing was such a health hazard?!) My alma mater actually has a fairly helpful page (check out the exercises): http://cmu.edu/rsi/

1. (Nearly) 14K is amazing output for a week. Goodness. Well done.

2. If it helps, I can spend some portion of my visit watching you type and yelling, “Write, dammit, WRITE!!” every few minutes.

Wow. So true! This sounds like it would turn into a pretty cool article if you did some research on what people do with all their old books. Or maybe it would end up pretty boring if everyone just gives them away.

Oh man, great observation, and so true!! I can’t believe I never thought of that before. But even when I dream (deliriously) about cleaning out my parents’ house — i.e., trashing all their junk — I never imagine putting a single book into the garbage can. Newspapers and magazines? Heck yes! But books? Never.

Wow, good food for thought. And hope, for books!

You know what I got out of this post? Not a great recommendation for an awesome book. Not a curious acknowledgment that the concept is interesting.

No….instead my immediate reaction was:

WTF HAS TWO HOURS TO READ A BOOK STRAIGHT THROUGH?

I suppose this helps answer the question: What does Lee do all day?

You’re very welcome! I’m glad it finally made its way home.

Update: Barnes and Nobles gave me the run-around for awhile, but have finally agreed to refund my money. They claim to be taking action against the bookseller, or at least checking into things. Justice has been served.
