Friends,
I am placing a link to my ebook in the sidebar. It will be a standing invitation to the chance passerby to 'tolle, lege'. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the genre, I have based my story on the clean line of the classic Christian romance: boy sees girl, boy helps girl out of carriage, passing father-by makes boy marry girl, the rest of the book centers around the fundamental tension of boy seducing girl. Throw in a few witnessing scenes and the thing is sure to sell.
The genre is, of course, singularly redeemable to my atheistic worldview: not only for its inherent idolatry, but because the rigor of my intellectual beliefs is singularly adapted to the quality of the genre. I will probably at some point produce a volume of notes on the whole, in the style of Eliot's Notes on the Wasteland. And in that style, I expect the notes to be even less comprehensible than the book itself.
(If you can't read the book itself, I recommend reading the table of contents. And if you only have time to one chapter I recommend chapter 13, my magnum opus.)
