I'm reading jPod.

When I get into a book I tend to just read it until I am done. I get this from economics text books where its boring so you want to get it over with. But thats not the real point of this blog... I got to page 289 in jPod. This page Coupland talks about how Cowboy is searching on chokingforit.com.

Looking for a break I went to the website only to find this message:

There really should have been something here. Who mentions a domain name to an audience that is certainly curious enough to check it and doesn't put ANYTHING there?

(this site not by D. Coupland, just by a frustrated reader)

Like this reader I felt kind of ripped off, yet humored in a weird way. The novel is really interesting and don't fret I will have my full review up when I'm done. (joke)... Next step is to find that number which isn't prime.

Edit:

Done... amazing book. However, never found that O in the place of a 0, I am convinced like the website it isn't there. That would be the best joke, to challenge people to look for something which isn't there.

And for Mat's information, I got through it without sticking your pages together... amazing I know. I will drop it off tomorrow.

    wow, that was fast . . . I guess it is for the best, less chance of staining/sticking/ripping pages of it. I'm at soccer tonight, if I'm not around just drop it in the mailbox. top
