    Ryan North, Matthew Bennardo, and David Malki met on an internet forum about talking dinosaurs. This book is the direct result of that and a myriad other factors. They have come a long way.

    Maybe we should write a GeekNights book and do the same thing... Will it work?

    Can I sign on in advanced for the music for the audio book version?

    This is should definitely become a regular thing, and not only for webcomic writers.

    Apparently Glenn Beck was on the bitter bus that this book beat his crappy book and called it out on his show today, of course not knowing anything about the book. I don't have any footage but from a few tweets he said on his program the book is an example of our "culture of death".

    Maybe I should buy this book for a friend so it can beat his book.

    I am going to buy two copies just because it makes Glenn Beck butthurt.
  • SailSail
    My copy just showed up.

    I missed my copy from UPS. Ugh. I didn't leave them a note. Ah well, I'll leave them a note tomorrow.

    I got my copy today and read the first five stories. So far each one has either creeped me out, made me laugh out loud, or given me a warm and fuzzy feeling, and all of them have me contemplating mortality and causality in very interesting ways. The last word of ALMOND, in particular, blew my brain across the room and out the window. This is a good book.


    (And, of course, it has me pondering what my own card might say. I'm thinking CHEESE.)

    You're lucky they let you buy it at all with your fake moneys.

    Got my book yesterday. I just glanced through the book. It would have been nice if they explained who the author and illustrator is. There are a lot of names of people that I don't recognize.

    There are short bios for all the authors and illustrators in the back.

    Just started reading this today as some "light" entertainment when I'm not in the mood for Prince of Nothing.

    At least as far as I've gotten, I like it, but my review would have to be something like "Great concepts, decent executions". Granted, I'm only up to Suicide, so far, but a lot of them feel like "And then he went here and did this thing and blah".
