It’s damn nice to be in the hands of an author who leaves nothing to chance. Who knows how to convey a thought that is deeper than the words he uses to convey it. Consider this sequence: “I couldn’t stand another of those damned prayer sessions without bursting out with the news that I’d been laying his wife so frequently that the only excitement left in it was the increasingly likely possibility that we’d be found out.” The other man, though, is kind and generous, and this quickly follows: “By the time I left I disliked Harding because he had treated me kindly and fairly, thereby failing to give me a reason to justify the wrong I had done him.” - See more at: http://www.claytonlindemuth.com/2013/09/28/review-of-cottonwood-by-scott-phillips/#sthash.0jcgYi1x.dpuf

Your answer is right upthread.
Nothing prevents you from posting your full content and the owner would prefer it so.
That's cool, though.. keep on pimpin'.
I can fit you into my schedule.
Looks like an interesting book.
Guys, some blogger are ok.
The book isn’t the point. Why the excerpt?
The reason I stopped spending much time on FR so many years ago is the tendency to eat its own. We agree on so much, but we’d rather pick fights with ourselves than the people destroying the things we care about. If anyone here read any of my works, or the writers I write about, they’d see that we share the deepest values in common. But some people have the right side of the bed against the wall so they have an excuse to get up on the wrong side every day. Too bad the conservative banner attracts just as many self righteous asses as the liberal.
To my mind blog pimps are those whose blogs don’t contribute anything except political opinions, and we have more than enough of those.
On the other hand, when a blogger has some knowledge or discovery to share, I appreciate the post and can forgive the link.
Too bad some of those asses are only here trying to score hits for their blogs.
Humble, I asked the admin about it and received the response that excerpting the blog is okay. So that’s all you’ll get from me in the future. Please direct your correspondence to admin in the future.
Do as you wish and expect a reaction.
Please direct your correspondence to admin in the future.
No, I think I'll stick with you.
If the "admin" decides to start pimping a blog for hits, I'll provide equal time.
