Bibliophile Stalker‘s Links and Plugs for today just pointed me to the answer/s to that very question via Allan Mott’s “50 Reasons No One Wants to Publish Your First Book” list. The entries are hilarious, some items almost being insightful. But what really made this a must share was entry #43: 43. Writing a 97,236-word thesis [...] Read about this from Bibliophile Stalker‘s blog. Booktopia will be shifting to an e-commerce service next year. The last day of their physical store in Intrepid Plaza, Libis will be on 2009.01/04 (that’s the 1st Sunday of 2009). Since I left my office in Libis, I’ve been hard pressed to go to the area and visit that [...] I got books all over the place, and that’s partly by design. I tend to want to have a book within reach wherever I am, so I typically have a few at the living room, around the bedroom, at the car (some nearby and some at the back), and a few at work.
