I just bought READING BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN from
Front-Ranger:
OMG, it's out? It's published?! Daniel, I am so proud of you and I can't wait to read this book!! Fuck Reading Brokeback everybody...get Daniel's book!!
Kd5000:
Yep, some positive reviews of your book would help Daniel. I've never written a review before on AMAZON.com. I ordered your book yesterday from Amazon.com and look forward to it's arrival. I've almost finished READING BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and I think it was a missed opportunity. Not alot of new insights. The books overall theme seemed to be framing BBM against larger sociocultural considerations. I will still keep the book.
I wish someone would put out a book on BBM gathering the most insightfuls posts on IMDB.com, Bettermost.net and other forums so that you could just flip right thru it. Sometimes you just want to hold something in your hands. A few troll posts might be interestings. Just kidding about that. ;)
The topics you cover sound most interesting. Your publisher not sending you around the country to promote your book I suppose?? I have not seen it for sale at Barnes and Noble.
Daniel:
Well, feel free to review the book, if you like... I believe that one other member of Bettermost has read it. Shakestheground might be able to recommend it (or not).
