@gr has kindly produced a ‘choose your own chapters’ online version of the 10th anniversary edition, which is definitely worth a look as well for anyone planning to read the book online!

@pigfender I just want to say thank you for this! I’ve been working overtime for so long that I haven’t been able to concentrate and write fiction. This made me realize how much I’ve missed it, and it’s made me realize that I can still do this. So thank you! I’m so grateful!
