Would you buy a Fluther Short Story: The Book?

Yes!!
Richardhenry, you rock!

Haha thanks. I should probably do some real work now. :)

O.M.G. Talk about a labor of love. Hats off, two thumbs up, and a ‘great question’ for richardhenry!

Just finished reading…...bizarrely it flows and is very readable….although it leaves you with no idea how you got from point A to point B (or C,D,E….etc.)
It’s brilliant!

Yeah, I managed to string together the sentences that didn’t quite work, but for the most part it was amazing already. I can’t believe how well that ‘coherent story’ turned out!

Btw…..nice touch with the ‘Tell me something bad’ at the end :)

yes, I’ll try and buy it. Thankyou rh.

It was fun. It will take some beating.

Peedub mentioned getting his grandma to do an audio version. If anyone actually does do that, I’ll happily publish it on the book site. :)

Haha, that’s so funny. Wow.. we are published authors.

finally found the thread that spawned the beaked alien phenomena:

You’re amazing, richardhenry! We all owe you a drink….

I will definitely buy a copy. Will you sign my copy, RichardHenry?

Does anyone feel like writing a Lulu review? Haha.

I think Peedub should do it. Hes excellent at writing blurbs about things. Have you read his amazing travel descriptions? Pure genius. =]

C’mon, Peedizzle. ;-]

How’s this:
As a spur of the moment initiative, drawing on the creativity of over 30 users of www.fluther.com, “A collective Nordic love story with
tree penguins, beaked aliens and whiskey.” is a unique experience.

Although lacking a strong or clear story-line, this short story, comprised of over 600 6-words-or-less sentences, stands out as a feat of collective innovation and imagination.

Despite its structure and thanks to some good editing (although minimal), the story is very easy to read and will offer some good laughs along the way.
By the end you’re left with a feeling of astonishment and puzzle, while highly entertained.

haven’t created a lulu account yet, so I’ll just post here

Amen, to that… And absolutely YES!! I will buy 3 books. Again, I would like to thank one and all for taking part in such a great little story! What imagination you all have. So, to “richardhenry as well as everyone else who took part. A job well done!

@Wild- Awesome!

Thanks – if you guys wanna use it (full or part), feel free.

I second @wildflower. Richardhenry, YOU ROCK! I just purchased two in book form, from LuLu.. Maybe you will come out with a updated version. Perhaps there will be a book signing some day, eh? <grin>

It was a story that begged to be told. A saga that demanded to be shared with the entire world. Thanks to you, richardhenry, the world now knows the true tale. And one can’t help but feel that all of mankind is just a bit better off for it. Stand ready fluther friends as surely a sequel will be solicited.

Solicited and celebrated, the undying saga conjures images found only at the lesser-travelled regions of the psyche. At times, illusive like the mighty narwhal, others, like a heap of fresh Mink Oil lodged into the nasal cavity. An epic of mighty proportions, paralleled only by such works as the Kalevala and The Chroicles of Elric of Melniboné.

Its magnitude can be comfortably compared to another short story, Nikolai Gogol’s masterpiece “Diary of a Madman”.

Peedizzle, you are amazing!! =]
Another “blurb” masterpiece.

haha- blurb-o-nonsense!

I like WTF’s. I especially enjoy reading it with a dramatic ‘book critic on the radio’ voice.,’ or maybe even like James Lipton.

The Fluther story defines existentialism in the 21st century. In time, its impact will surely exceed that of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “Notes from the Underground”.

“It makes my account of traveling through the boiling cauldrons of hell sound like a late night trip to the bathroom.”

-Dante Alighieri

amen!

“What can I say, I’m losing my mansion but I don’t care. It changed my life.”

-Jose Canseco

???

peedub….you’re killing me!!!

Sorry, I didn’t sleep much last night. I’m a tard.

sleep is highly overrated, my friend

Word.

a fitting last word

Fantastic work richardhenry…..now everybody go to Lulu and rank it high!

Twas absolutely fab. I’ll probably buy the book soon ^^

Yeah, it was AMAZING. Great job RichardHenry, and thanks everyone!

I’m serious about getting my grandmother to read it. I just have to figure out the best way to record it.

@whatthefluther and peedub
You guys really need to post those reviews – perhaps as a collective effort? Just to match the book….
You guys are just on fire!
