:P Perhaps, perhaps.

I'm hoping to get my order in soon; I have to mail out copies.

I've enjoyed reading your posts since I've been here, I'm going to ask my parents to buy me a copy or just wait till I get a job.

How many pages is it? Just out of curiousity.

It's 100 pages flat. I liked the nice round number, and know that some younger/less frequent readers get discouraged to read a book over 100 pages.

Is the print small, or is it maybe a difficult read?

I go through a 100 page book once every two school days (15 minutes of reading before each class, and I tend to go over).

I was hoping this would last me longer...

Oh well. I can read it more than once.

From the reviews I've gotten thus far, it's a quick read but reading it over a few times -- at least twice -- helps. It's like watching one of those movies where the ending makes the whole rest of the movie make sense.

There's a few chapters in particular that will stand out as something you can just pick up and take a look at. I do this often with Gods Debris, one of my favorite books.

I read often; I didn't used to, but now I read about 100 pages a week or so, depending on how much time I have to sit around before classes.

edit: oh, and the print is 10pt Arial font, single spaced.

Well, I'm not gonna lie, since you replied with an actually helpful reply (not that you don't regularly), depending on how much money I have left, when my debit comes in I'll probably purchase this, considering it's such a short read. I dunno, maybe I just got the whole idea of the book wrong, but to me at first it seemed just like a fiction dealing with people who are fake, etc.. -- Do the two tie together? Because at ±50 pages each, I'm wondering how in depth it could actually go? I haven't checked the link yet, but I'll definitely check out that other fiction piece.

I'll admit: I'm really, really, really bad as describing my own book. The two tie together, reasonably well. The ending's the best part.

edit: Also, I got my copies in today, so those of you whom were promised a signed copy should receive one soon.

I myself would never write a book. How long did it take you to write it?
