Hey, if you are not stuck in prison, or if you are going to spend some time there please put a couple of my favorite books on your shelf for the hell of it. Ten to twenty would really give them some shelf space time. I suggest Street Smart Dating and Hereafter...Again. One is about getting laid and one is about getting dead. If you need a 'pen' pal...let me know.

I have a spot on my shelf for this book. I gave it 5 stars. If Susie's book can get backings any book can. Anyway, this book is a challange and it was not copied from anyone. who knows the author may just back my book. Oh I do not have one up yet. Uh maybe one from my shelf that I like. GoooooooooooBook.
It may get me a tsr

Line-breeding. I know someone like that - her pedigreed dogs won all sorts of prizes - except those born with no head or five legs or whose teeth fell out. They were also universally stupid, but that applies to all pedigreed dogs, I think. Backed because no-one else with any sense would back it.

This is one of the weirdest I've read in a while. But I admit it's also an original piece.

Backed for the outlandish narrative.

Hi jethro, You’ve achieved a vernacular spelling style that a person can follow. The chronicle of the narrator is amusing, his ideas jolting at times and so insular! That’s the point here, isn’t it? But you’ve taken us into his language and relationships in an entertaining, original way – Shelved Katherine

Colin Normanshaw wrote 683 days ago

A very interesting approach and it will be fascinating to see if this takes off or not. My guess is it won't but because of the writing style not the content (don't listen to Puny Human on that score). I am happy to back it for promise and originality alone. Colin

Burgio wrote 685 days ago

I had a lot of trouble reading this in the beginning but was surprised that by the third chapter, I had adjusted to the accent and settled down to just enjoying this. It's a clever, clever storie. Burgie (Grain of Salt).

Fun at times, difficult to read, won't be a book because it's too short. I think you will offend many people with this. That is your intent though, isn't it?

felicity potbottle wrote 687 days ago

A sensitive look at incest.

david brett wrote 687 days ago

an epic story of country folk. Onlie sirprized thair ent no danged sheeps. unreadably offensive, and offensively unreadable, which I suppose is the idea! Or is this social realism in Arkansas?

Barb_Anne wrote 687 days ago

This is freakin' hilarious. I love it.

I'm not sure who the greater morons are, you, or the people who put your book on their shelves.

John Harold McCoy wrote 687 days ago

Read the pitch, figured you'd drop that and get into a readable book after introducing the character. You didn't. Flipped ahead a few chapters... same chapter. You don't have a book here, and what you do have is unreadable... too much work.

Pretty damn funny. Hard work to read at times and could be toned down a touch is the sed, sew and wuzes.

Backed for originality and concept.

P.S. I'd ask you to reade my booke jethro, but you might not be able to understand the big words like, Car.

J.Adams wrote 687 days ago

Backed, because, what else am I gonna do with this??? I especially like that chapters one through seven are identical!! Very clever. I really like the "Romance" classification. I feel sorry for the hogs, though.
All the best,

Rynn wrote 688 days ago

Wow. The concept is cool and as a person that comes from a family of hill billies I can see the humor But it's just too -too much. Tone it down some.

Have you ever read Trainspotting? that book uses thick dialect (Scottish) but it is still easy to read once you get through the first few pages. I recommend reading that for an idea of how to keep the tone and rich dialect with butchering the language so much that it makes it so difficult to read.

Good Luck!

Barry Wenlock wrote 689 days ago

Hi there, I had to back this. It's original. Your spelling (mis-spelling) has no consistency whatever, so it's very hard to read
meet (meat) marryd , marryed) etc etc. Hard going. BUT after a short while, I still found it was easy enough to read.
The concept is very interesting and may be encountered (to an extent) in my own book, Little Krisna and the Bihar Boys).

Backed with interest and sympathy for the spell check.,
Best wishes, Barry

Travis,
I read this, out of curiosity after seeing your forum thread. I must say, I appreciate your sense of humour. Thanks much for the laughs! We need to laugh more, don't we? I think you can actually come up with a decent book by expanding on this start, but naturally you'll have to make the language just slightly more readable - just. There is a market for the absurd out there, and yours has that odd tinge of "humour" that might actually make this appealing in a weird sort of way, and even saleable!? Possibly. Good laughs. Thank you for that!

I'm going to guess this is a creative way of proving what's right and what's wrong with this site.

Wonder how many of us you're going to get to read this .

Thetinman wrote 690 days ago

Jethro, this is horrendous. Usually I try to be polite, but in this case I would think my roundabout words would be lost. So to be succinct, do you really think anyone would read this, or better yet, pay you for it?
Wow.
And 7 chapters of this, too.

Sumarus wrote 690 days ago

What you do here is interesting, but I'm sorry, as much as I want it to, it just doesn't work. As I say, I want it to work, I appreciate the thought behind it and the work that's gone into it. I can see what you've tried to do and while I find it fascinating to a point, it really does need toning down if you're serious about doing anything about it. I'm sorry but I just couldn't read this, I was cringing too much by the middle of the second paragraph, and if I read further I think the English student in me would have just found this too upsetting to deal with.
You might have something here, frankly I can't tell. I want to like it, but I simply can't. Your language loses you story too much I can't tell if there is one or not...

Dear Aull

I find your accent interesting, but it's not working.

You should remember that when we use accent in a story it is only ever used in dialogue, though a good enough writer might put some accent in thought and description, but never to the extent of this. It is a very original idea, and I can understand where you're coming from with this type of writing, but be careful not to over do it to the extent that it exhausts the reader and later becomes a chore to read.

Interesting story non the less, but try to soften the accent and it might just work.

Good luck and Happy Writing!

On reading this, I just have to hope that this is supposed to be humorous. Otherwise I really don't know what to make of it.
