Apparently the Stephen King of Japan has just published his latest book—on toilet paper.

    Do you think the chapters repeat a couple of times in a row? So that when someone else uses the WC you still won’t miss a chapter…

    I was just wondering today why so many books are shaped like rectangles/squares. It was really getting to me but I guess they all aren’t. This is such an incredibly innovative and not to mention creative, idea. In all industries, the Japanese are always more creative than us Americans. They don’t box themselves in like we do. They have limitless creativity as seen by everything from there fashion to…this.

    Once school starts I’m going to do my homework on a roll of toilet paper and see what happens. I’ll keep you all posted.

    I have to say…I like this better than ebooks!

    I’m just wondering if each sheet contains 140 characters. Tweets on Sheets. Or “Sheets” on Tweets, as the case may be.
