'richard yates' is 'the rumpus book club' selection re august

information re 'richard yates' is here, information re 'the rumpus book club' is here and here (i think because 'richard yates' is paperback you will also get one other book for august, the paperback of the adderall diaries, i think)

someone tweeted: '@tao_lin way too expensive considering what you get.'

for august you would get 'ry' ($15) & 'the adderall diaries' (~$13) for $25 with free shipping & earlier than their release dates

i'm considering subscribing, i just don't understand why you get two books in august? it doesn't say that on the site anywhere. are you just guessing tao?

@andy i would like to come to gainesville again

@brandon i think i have an amount of 'insider info,' the reasoning re 'two books' is that 'ry' is paperback whereas the other books are hardcover

seems like i will do this. the thing said $25 monthly

or something that made me think it would be $25 monthly

that makes me worried

don't think i would do it if it was $25 monthly

is it that

why is the mop thing reversed on the back of the book

it is $25 monthly, and one can unsubscribe at any time, i think

can you elaborate on your confusion

Blogger michael said...

"unsubscribe": oh yeah

"confusion":

in the text of sfaa it says "the inmate without a mop... the inmate with a mop"

on the back cover it says "the inmate with... without"

just feel curious about that

the mop thing is a 'typo' i think

'mindfuck'

just finished it, right now. also i spilled guinness on my laptop, only a tiny amount

i liked it a lot

seems like "with... without" is the correct one. i don't know. doesn't matter mostly

@michael

I noticed that "mop typo" as well.

I want to say it's "funny" or "weird" or something.

I like that it's there, maybe.
