  Actually, this would be a really fun format for experimental fiction, too. World War Z-esque, but with a little more context

  OK but have you read _Gödel, Escher, Bach_ by Douglas Hofstadter? (No, it's not an example of such a book...)

  My next book (due out June) is only 124 pages!!! No appendices. More than readable.

  @BinaryPJ holds forth on how many books are commissioned on basis of three sample chapters - so read first three and the last to get most of the value. The rest really is filler, often
