=== REVIEWS OF THIS BOOK ===


Reviews of This Book is a project first envisioned by Douglass Hofstadter. The aim is exactly what it sounds, the implementation as simple as possible: Write a review of a hypothetical book of reviews of itself, and edit as much or as little as you like so that it reflects the real thing. Over time, it will grow to be a book filled with reviews of itself.

In happy algorithmic super form:
1. Read this page here, and the entries gathered so far.
2. Write a review of them
3. Wait
4. Read the entries again, and edit your review to reflect any changes.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as many or few times as you like

Some guidelines:
- Have a sense of humor
- If you use exact quotes from the Book, make sure they stay accurate
- Talk about the prose, how interesting the idea is, and how well it turned out
- Quality is great, but Quantity is critical
- Include your atribution exactly as you want it
- Tristan Parker ([info]rozencrantz) has final say over what goes
