Seems desperate for cash. Look at this. This was taken at my local library. Tao is resorting to stock photos now. Please help Tao, he is running low on Xanax funds.

Ben Brooks deserves it more than Tao, though. I'm kind of endeared to Tao after having read Taipei. His shitposts give us a history together.

This is all part of Tao's on-line marketing of himself.

Most book buyers can't be bothered to give a shit about Tao Lin's twitter page, and he knows it. He must be quite angry at all the preteens posting 140 characters or less about how genius and great he is on a site that has no legitimacy and a majority of bookbuyers lend no credence.

"Post this on Amazon, quick!"

Because people actually read Amazon reviews. And nobody reads Tao Lin's twitter page except his sad following, who need no convincing.

i'm going to make sure to leave a negative review on his amazon page, now.

>> No.4020478

>>4020460
You may be right, but his twitter feed is mentioned on almost every book review I've read of his recently.

He is the Kafka of the iPhone generation after all

You should add him on gmail chat and set up a script to add "said anon on gmail chat" every time you write something, and "said Tao Lin on gmail chat" everytime he sends you a message.

Who here honestly feels ass ravaged at a message like that?
