This review made me laugh....
Sharp corners, May 19, 2007
By Mr. Clive J. Tooth (Reading, BERKS United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Dear Doug,
I have been reading your book "I Am A Strange Loop".
I bought the book on Amazon, it arrived well-packaged, as is usual with Amazon books.
Sorry, I got interrupted here. My wife has just handed me a framed version of
[Interrupted again here
___[Interrupted yet again here
______[I have to stop completely]
___]
]
I will start again later. I don't think I can carry on now. Perhaps I can.
I have just got up to the bit in Chapter 3, where you mention the number 641. I love [6 lines deleted] Gauss.
My wife went out of the room a few minutes ago.
Anyway, the book had a dust jacket when it arrived. I detest dust jackets, they make the book more difficult to hold. I took the dust jacket off and ripped it in half. Possibly ripping that picture of you in half. I felt a pang of guilt as I did that. But, what is one more pang in a world of pangs?
Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I have been reading the book laying on my back, on a bed.
The corners of the cover are very sharp. You could consider making the corners of your next book rounded. And, perhaps, the corners of the pages, too.
[Added much later] I have now guillotined off the offending corners.
[Added a little earlier] I have now realised that it is impossible for me to write an Amazon review of this book.
