Comment policy and disclaimers
I love comments. I do. What I don’t love are advertisements disguised as comments. Don’t waste your time; Akismet will catch most of your spam comments and I will catch and promptly delete the rest.And if it wasn’t obvious, hate speech, racial slurs, trolling, etc., is highly frowned upon.
Disclaimer: I will occasionally link to products (mostly books) on Amazon.com. Clicking on these links and then buying from Amazon supports A Like Affair With Words, however, I will not hype up any book or product in order to get clicks. I link to both books I loved and books I didn’t. Buy both or neither (though I’d prefer, of course, both). I’m hoping the links don’t get too intrusive.

Re: Dave Eggars Is Weird, what am I searching for, here is the google search:
“Dave Eggers” “sister” beth
Reason being, I like to read about the misfits whose interpretation of accepted PR realities don’t jibe. Also, I have a (unproven) theory — ever since reading Little Women — that Beths tend to be neurotic in a repressed, self-hating way. Feel bad that Egger’s sister Beth committed suicide. Wish someone coulda reached her, but that’s almost always impossible anyway.
