After all that '...Dear Chad,<BR/><BR/>What, only FIVE copies? After all that 'tude back in Sewanee? I don't know, dude. Maybe you DID hate it. Maybe you DID think, and I quote you, "Lady Lazarus sounds about as interesting as a Mitch Albom novel on quaaludes." I don't know, man - this other guy at Sewanee, this Matt Pitt fellow, he bought TWENTY FIVE copies. How about that?<BR/><BR/>And when you get arrested for assaulting strangers with a 500 page book, don't call me for bail, Chad! I'll be too busy working at McDonalds, since all the royalties I got off your purchase added up to, like, a pack of smokes.

That's one.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in this novel for the way in which it exemplifies what Henry Jenkins calls Convergence Culture, the way old media and new media mix, so that a novel refers back to a poem (which was convergence culture, I guess, in the 18th century) and forward to the web. Pretty neat.<BR/><BR/>And back in January you asked about readings for a Web 2.0 class. So there's one for you.
