we all have our cross to bear.. you think its easy commenting on the integers thread when you are terrible at math? you think its easy arguing with people who know logical thinking? but i still get up every day and do it….

Of all the compendia I have ever read, this falls flat. I give it a 6.5

Harsh words from the one of the biggest contributors to said compendiacompendium.

Compendium.  Compendia is plural.  The strength is in the bullish consistency, but the plot is entirely predictable.

actually, i think he is accusing you of being exactly like M. Night Shyamalan: like every one of his movies, your oeuvre is consistent and predictable.

Isn't his trademark thing "the twist" at the end? I haven't seen any of his movies in a decade, I don't think.

Well, we're not to the end yet, are we?

We are between 73 and 74% of the way to the end.

really exciting news today… onwards and upwards…


I assume you've got an agent peddling the book's movie rights in Hollywood?


I just hope you remember the little people on this board when you're living out in Los Angeles…

I won't even listen to an offer unless they agree to a trilogy. If that Tetris movie is going to be a trilogy, you know a rolling compendium of integers has at least that much meat on the bone.

good point…I could also see this as a TV/internet show…..overtones of Seinfeld for the new millenium but of course better writing and more fast paced……

I really feel some sort of long form television series form would let us focus more on the people behind the integers than just the integers themselves. It could help us come to grips with what 7 makes us emote, for example.
