It happens; at least you caught yourself. I had a couple of people IM me asking where they could find my book; I told them to click the huge link in my sig, and then click that huge book in the center of the page.

I'll go down to a local bookstore and tell them to order a few copies.

if at first they decline I will subject them to cruel inhumane torture until they do

I'm pretty sure they're obligated to order it.

There's a [sloppy] description on the page you order from, as well as two exerpts. I have never been very consistent with the description of the book, as it's not conventional in the abstract writing techniques and themes I applied. If you click "KSP89's book review" in my signature, he provides a wonderful review that may help you grasp the concept and structure of the work. I've written a different kind of description since the one posted on the order form website.

Quote:

The book is unique in the writing world; I made it a point not to follow conventional writing formulas and methods, I wanted originality. Much of the text is conversation between the main character, myself really, and other REAL people I've had the wonderful benefit of encountering over the internet. I've utilized the internet and the community of it very well, and it's helped a lot. The book doesn't create any three dimensional characters; I made it a point to focus on the ideas of the individual, not what they look like. So there's not much character development, only philosophic babble.

I'm not very good at describing the book, since it's not simple enough to generalize or summarize; but here's what I got:

The book is called Changing Faces & Change The World; it's a two part book, the first story, Changing Faces, is about the main character's struggle to discover true self, having enveloped himself in creating "Faces" that apply to different social cliques. People act differently depending on who they're with -- whether in front of authority, elders, peers, children, etc. It's a reasonably well developed social philosophy. The internal struggle the character faces centers around the question "Is it better to be yourself, or better to be a good person?"

The second book, Change The World, is a pure dialectic. It's all moral philosophy, with a few tangents in there to avoid boring the young readers of my target audience. It's all about how to make the world a better place.

I believe you covered that in your book. Heh.

Wow bro, that's awesome that you have written a book. It's very unusual in the context we are in to see what looks like a very well written book. Props bro. That's great, I really hope it goes well for you. I might have to pick this up. I'm a big fan of psycology and philosiphy.
