Is anyone planning to read "Paying for It"?

[moviefan]

This graphic novel about "paying for it" was produced by the guy who was the Libertarian candidate in Trinity-Spadina in the recent election:

Has anyone read it, or is anyone planning to read it?

Note that in one of the excerpted panels, he even refers to TERB in terms of mulling over posting a negative review. (I wonder who, among us, he is/was.)

I'm almost tempted to buy the book to see if he put any clues in it.

I'd like to read it, but I won't be paying for it (ZING!!).. I wouldn't want this sitting on my bookshelf!!

I am definitely going to read it. I love reading/watching stuff on the industry.

Purchased it earlier today, the first 100 pages are comical. I'll probably be done with it on Sunday.

Fascinating.

 

[HG Hunter]

I'd like to read it, but I'm sure it would raise some questions at home I'd rather not face.

I'd like to buy a copy, leave it at my fave MP, and have the MPA read it to me during sessions.

Finished it this morning and still chuckling about it.

I went to the launch, bought a copy, read it and enjoyed it (a lot).

 

[krazyplayer]

Buying it. We need more "johns" to come out of the closet. I'm not, but I'm glad he has.

 

[lurkerdick]

So it's not B&S? I'll wait for the comic version

Bought it earlier this afternoon and finished it in about an hour. Throughly enjoyed it. Brings back memories to when I first started in this "hobby". Without giving away too much, a lot of thought provoking thoughts on the industry and also about relationships as a whole. I wouldn't be embarrassed to have this on the shelf as it's a graphic novel with much substance.

Great book. Got it from the library and was planning to read it slowly but couldn't put it down and finished in a day.

Funny and hits close to home.
