One thought on “Bleccchhh

  1. I hate hate hate the supposed dictionary definition of ‘Blook’ tagged on the end there. :-s

    The two books-based-on-blogs that I have picked up so far are Salam Pax’s and Belle De Jour’s. Both of them were entertaining reading, although the both lost the freedom of the links that they had (Salam more than Belle).
