So how do blog posts look in book form? He observes:
It looks good, and I'm pleased that the posts, placed one after another in a nice typeface on good paper, form a unity that makes them still more meaningful: a literary self-portrait in several forms, covering the course of a year.That is, you totally don't have to buy the book to read every single thing in it (other than the preface). Info on buying his book is in the sidebar. It's great that you can sell your blook through the major bookstore sites!
In a second post today I'll tell give you some further glimpses, but in this one I just want to offer you the table of contents (which is very long because the book contains 89 posts). Those of you who are familiar with my work can go back to any of the listed posts if you wish, and remind yourselves of what you liked in them. Those of you who haven't read certain posts before -- ones from months ago, perhaps -- can dip into them as previews of the book.
The posts are arranged in chronological order, except for the last one listed. An author's preface introduces the book.
To find a post on this blog, type or cut-and-paste the title into the white search bar at the top of this page. Then click "Search This Blog". Click on the link provided by the search results.
"A unity that makes them still more meaningful"? So he's asserting that his own blog posts are meaningful? Well, the very act of publishing your writing is an assertion that what you've got to say is meaningful. Or do we bloggers seem to be saying only here it is, for whatever it's worth. I'm not saying it means a damn thing. It's just the latest thing that dribbled out of my head.
Nevertheless, when you blook your blog you're definitely asserting that these posts were meaningful and I'm now making them even more meaningful. So what the hell? Why not say it?

Brendan: There are two women standing in the way of that. His wife and me.
Are we condemned to a world where almost all new computer-publishing terms sound as though they were created in a Dr. Seuss name generator: Blog, vlog, blook? Podcast is decent-enough sounding, although I wouldn't be suprised if one day I woke up and the preferred term was an oobluck or some such nonsense. But still, an interesting concept, and RLC's blog seems particularly condusive to blooking.
You bleeding heart liberals make me laugh. Stop misleading these poor deluded minds. They'll never get to be millionaires if they waste time on left wing delusions. We've got a war to profit from... You can be the (Rich) Quick or the Dead. I'll take Rich. Richard Quick
WTF was that?
I can't tell if it's spam or just some nut.
... anyway, it's probably better to assert one's blog entries are meaningful than think they're meaningless.
No- the way to multimillions is through spamming blogs on Sunday afternoons!
See, would have agreed with you, Seneca, except that I'm sure our wealthy friend abolve has a blog of his own he's (strangely) promoting above, and I tend to agree that the entries are worth less than the light from my computer screen needed to read them.
More important question: does RLC include any comments in his blook?
Wow! Who knew RLC's blooking would send someone right over the edge like that? Semanticleo, are you alright?
I think that the blook idea is neat. I wouldn't mind having a few blooks of my favorite blogs.
