I don't know if any of you subscribe to Max Barry's emails but they're usually pretty fun. At least worth a good read.

Anyway - he's decided to release a novel - called Machine Man. One page at a time. Through email, rss feed, or you can just go to the page. Interesting because he's also writing it one page at a time. Writing it as he sends it out.

And here's the link if you want to check it out or subscribe. He's currently on the 7th page I think.

I tried to do the one a day thing and I can't. No flow at all. So now, I'm going to check in every ten days or so to get a solid read in. It's not like each page is a serial chapter that builds to something. It's a novel, which is hard to read one page per day. Interesting concept for the story so far though.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I used to read Max's blog regularly, then not sure what happened. I'm subscribed now so I won't miss out on delights like this. Thanks, Pete!

Because you're to lazy to read the first seven pages or because you are having trouble finding the first page? If it's the latter, here: http://www.maxbarry.com/machineman/page.html?p=1

So, someone has been stealing my fan fiction...
