Introductions

Hey,

I'm Neil. I'm in the process of reading YNH now, and I'm really enjoying it. I created this community (after talking with Helen DeWitt in email) as a place for people who have read / are reading the book to talk about it.

Hope that people find it useful.

Take care.

I've only got the n+1 excerpt. Is there more to be had out there? You know, for citizens?

Hey Joey,

I sent you an email explaining how I got a copy of the book to read. Hope that helps you get a copy as well.

Neil,

I've got the same question as Joey. Have read the n+1 excerpt, but unsure about how to acquire the whole manuscript. Is Helen PayPal-ing it?

Looking forward...!

To answer my own question, and help out anybody else who gets here without going first through Helen's blog, the instructions on how to acquire a version of YNH can be found here: http://paperpools.blogspot.com/2008/05/by-popular-demand.html

Hey Y'all,

I'm Nathaniel. I think this community is a great idea; I like the wiki idea in the other discussion too, actually. I'm rereading YNH. I got a copy of the typescript from Helen I think in June of last year and I'm gonna tell you right now that you will not be disappointed when you read it.

All the best,

Nathaniel

Good to meet you Nathaniel.

I'm still working on the wiki idea. Hope to have something done soon, but not sure if I will.

I'm more than 200 pages into YNH and have yet to be disappointed.

While the wiki idea is a good one, I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions and discussions right here. Only thing is, I don't want to start talking about the book yet as some commenters haven't finished reading it.

Thanks to a spammer, I've been reminded of this site... I guess you've all read YNH now! If anyone's still monitoring this board, please reply to this post and we can start again!
