The Self Referential Thread

I downloaded the complete works of George Bernard Shaw to my Nook and I've been reading that. It has all his plays, stories, and essays, over 3,000 pages altogether. 😀 😛

What's amazing about e-readers is that it took less than one minute to download and it cost $3.99 because he's been dead so long his works are in the public domain.

Over 3,000 pages for $3.99.What a deal. I still have yet to get an E reader. Maybe later this month. 😀 😛

Yes, this is a good time to buy one. Price wars between Kindle and Nook have brought the basic black-and-white models of each down to about $79. 😀 😛

You can indeed publish anything whatsoever on sites like Lulu:

http://www.lulu.com/

Publishing there is free, but publicity is not. So it's your problem on how to inform people that your book is there and your problem to induce them to buy it. Here is one of my books there:

Thanks for the link my friend. I wonder if there is a way to donate sales to charity from Lulu. I will have to inquire them. 😀 😛

I would have to go with a "pen" name if I write any stuck/tickling stories. 😀 😛

Quite so, DC Comics would not be amused by their character's name being used without permission. 😀 😛

Some time back,on a Subway commercial,there was a green monster in it,with an Asisan lady.It was one of the five dollar foot long commercials. A Godzilla lawyer saw it,and convinced a judge that the monster looked like Godzilla. It looked nothing like Godzilla.

I don't recall being too scared by those movies as a kid. It was obviously just a fake big reptile.
