Re: The food and drink thread

https://i.ibb.co/2PG5GJP/Whats-App-Image-2024-01-05-at-6-54-10-PM.jpg I just want to show off this pristine 1970s edition of Joy of Cooking I got on Amazon. Been trying out some recipes, some have been good but I'm sometimes having some trouble with proportions. They really do have a lot of butter ...

Re: So I Self Published a Book Today

As a final thought - I'm not sure if this book works for most readers. Maybe ten people have told me they've started it, but only a couple have said they've finished it. Hey! Regrettably I have to add myself to that list, but it's not because of the book - I had to put down the other book I was rea...

Self-publishing was not that bad. Some steps I did in no particular order:
Thanks for the info, this is all really useful stuff to know. By the way, I read the first part on Amazon's preview and I'm already hooked, so I'm looking forward to reading it! :read: I'll let you know when I get it.

Re: What are you reading?

You mean Kerouac? I fucking hated the one Kerouac book I ever read, but it wasn't that one. (It was Dharma Bums.) Maybe that one's good. I had a feeling I might not like Kerouac but couldn't remember why. Maybe I read a negative comment. Yeah, that might be next. Are you enjoying Moby Dick? I read ...

Anyone who read and enjoyed On The Road? That might be next.
