Stop playing with my feelings, internet!
TallTanAndLoud
Fuck. That was surprisingly more powerful then I thought it could be. Loved it and would love to read an entire book like this! LOVE BOOKS!
ghost1807
Reminds me of a Clive Barker book called Mr. B Gone. Horror story, but the character is speaking to the reader the whole time. Quite good

People should play Digital: A Love Story. It's like that, but you're interacting with a computer program.

You're reading this on a kindle. As you get to the final line, the battery dies.
KateCurran
Meanwhile: I actually did write it- it ended up being roughly 156 pages and no one will ever read it ever. I cried writing the ending. 1/2

The main character was never assigned a gender and all together it was a really horribly experience for me.
derpcraftxx
Still a better love story than Twilight.
rainmaker271
the problem is that you could never move past the book and that would be that the book is your one true love know.
commenter11111111
GUYS THIS IS ACTUALLY A THING. it's by jodi picoult, author of "my sister's keeper", and her daughter. it's called "between the lines."
ifthisisadreamthewholeworldisinsideit
It seems interesting, but too much of a fairy tale to me. the whole prince thing makes me not want to read it
UltraRachael26
I just fell in love.
ConstipatedMoose
Shit like this is why I love tumblr. Being a writer makes me so sad that I didn't get to write anything as amazing as this.
DoctorWorm
It's called "If On a Winter's Night a Traveler" by Italo Calvino, except you are the main character.
lucoli
I was hoping someone else had read this book.
viillain
WHOA! didn't think anyone else would suggest it aha
RydWolf

As an author looking for ideas for a second book. I'm going to try this out. Start with a short story and go from there.

The Neverending Story by Michael Ende has this meta-meta-level where Atreju and Bastian are aware of the reader.
gamergeekv2
I just spent $29 because of this comment. I loved Neverending story as a kid and after you made me remember that, I had to buy it again.

Surprisingly powerful, i didn't think it would work. And now i'm tearing up. In the library. OH GOD WHY
Thecrocodileinpeterpanneedsmorelove
Me too. Also in the library. "Writing an exam"
eggmuffin
If your library isn't accustomed to seeing people cry, it's a bad library.
OmgRULatina
I agree... actually. I feel funny....
Redwingsyeah
Why? because you need to actually talk to a human being.
ScheherazadeDreams
Straight-up goosebumps and tears. WHY
causeyoumakemehappy
me too!! I thought, 'aw, nice idea...but it won't work on me!" And here I am, wiping tears away and I read it all over again...
MOTHERFUCKINGBOBROSS
"Please don't close the book. I don't want to die." Fuck, I can write some creepypasta around that.
randomowl23
If you do, send it to me please.
MOTHERFUCKINGBOBROSS
But what if it ends up being horrible ;_;
randomowl23
Well it won't be ^^
justamagician
(2) too. But until you put the pen to the paper, your mind to whatever it is you might do, you will never have written it and it will never
justamagician
Then you tried. You tried and you failed and that will be it. Only you and simowl will know that and they will forget it and maybe you will
justamagician
(3) be good. Fuck if it is horrible. At least it will exist, and isn't that what the character wants in the end?
MOTHERFUCKINGBOBROSS
Not unlikely. Very well, I'll pick up the pen tomorrow.
justamagician
How does the story go?
justamagician
Or mamm!
justamagician
I cheer you on sir!

Why is this comment getting so many points. It's like, my least favorite comment that I've ever made what is this.

He's my favourite author but sometimes I can't stand how hard he makes me cry. Looking For Alaska hit me hard as well.
