"The Mind's Aye" -- ready for your preview

To all who have expressed interest in my latest creation, the anti-novel titled "The Mind's Aye," I give you the opportunity to preview the novel for free. I have dried out my eyes going through the paragraphs and pages while looking for unintentional typographic errors and think that now's the time to give readers their chance to join in the editing and refinement process. Therefore, if you want to rest your eyes on a few novel thoughts, I give you the following URL:

DESCRIPTION:
  • Deconstructive dadaism. The anti-novel. Saying "NO!" to commercialism. What happens when an author falls into the book s/he is writing? The ennui and repetition of life seep into the story, too.
Feel free to download and read the novel. I'll make the novel free to read for a few days while I solicit feedback from specific friends, family and other less-than-disinterested readers to help me rough out the smoothness and make these words devoid of commercial appeal.

Here's the first part of the book:
The best way to tell the truth is to lie.

You see, that’s why the story starts like this. My name is Max. My full name is Maximilian Esophagus Mize. My childhood friends call me Gus. My enemies know me as Max. E. Mize (yeah, that’s right, the son of an efficiency expert).

And to keep you from wondering where this story is going, let me tell you, I ain’t much of a storyteller. I also call myself Bruce, Lee and any other name I feel like. I know a few tall tales, like this one, for instance...

Here's the last part of the book:
How do I know this? When you’re a ghost, you get to learn a lot of interesting facts otherwise hidden from mere mortals. Haha haha ha!

The rest is up to you to read. I've got to go work on my teaching skills for a while, adding a third class to my list of lectures over the next three months: Introduction to Personal Computers. Time to get out my tap shoes and start dancing! See the rest of you instructors at orientation and in-service tomorrow.
