Reading is bad voodoo man.

Matt, how would you prefer to read these novels?  Electronically or would you like a physical copy?  I have no problem with either one.  (Personally, I like holding what I'm reading if it's a novel, but that's just me).

Either would be fine, whatever is more convenient for you. I like physical copies more too.


Physical it is.  It will be a three ring binder with pages in it though.  LOL

Hopefully it will be published.  I'm really going to go for it this time.  I wrote two other novels that are okay, but I'm really confident about this.

When it's done and ready to be read, I'll ask for your address via PM if that's okay.

Sure, it wouldn't be the first time <_<
I'm excited to read it based on your confidence.

That means a lot. 

Just so you know, I'll be done with the first novel in a couple of weeks, I let my novels "marinate" for some time.  Then I reread it myself, then my wife reads it.  After that, it's yours for the killing!

Sounds good. I need to get back into reading, I've had Slaughterhouse-Five sitting here for ages and I've never made it passed the first paragraph.

That's funny if you've read it.  LOL

I don't see the humor in it at all right now.

If you'd read it, then maybe you'd get my joke.

Probably. Maybe I'll try to burn through it by tomorrow so I don't forget to figure out why it's funny.

I'm not saying the book is funny.  It isn't.  I was saying a comment you made about it was funny given the plot of the novel.

I assumed that, but now that I'm reading it the first four pages have been funny, at least.

On the contrary, I think Vonnegut managed to put a good bit of humor into the book.

Wouldn't it be the other way around, most likely?  Jon's humor is pretty Vonnegut-esque?  I'll admit, his style of humor has influenced me.

That's ture, but I knew Jon before Vonnegut, so to me his humor is Jon-esque.
