Nope, it's not a hiatus (so sorry about your position in the pool, bright), just going to try an experiment with all the book reviews. That's right, I'm going to try and monetize the motherfuckers. Ooo-ooh.
Although the number of regular readers here (and I love you all) is, um, not large, I have been following the Statcounter recently, and the poorly-named Keifus Writes! somehow gets about 75 search hits a day, most of them from people who are looking for book reviews. (People also look for mandolin fingerings and a chance to buy my virginity.) Some of these regularly come up in the top ten google hits, which is pretty surprising to me. So I'm going to start putting links to Amazon, in case I manage to convince anyone that they want to purchase those items.
If anyone reading this post wants to use one of those links as a portal to purchase your next big-screen TV, then I won't complain, but I'm not trying to make money off of my friends, and I encourage you, if you are so motivated, to go and patronize someone who needs the money more than I do. (And if the whole idea really bothers y'all, I'll just take out the ads.) I'm just thinking I might round up enough scratch from casual interlopers to purchase a new book once in a while. Worth a shot anyway.

Go for it. Nothing wrong with trying it out and seeing how it works/
Thanks, man. It seems a little bit distasteful to me, but it's something I was doing anyway, so...
Hey, Amazon tells me I've got 3 click-throughs already, and a 0% conversion. This is going to be huge!
I think that's a great idea!
Shit Keifus...I have to say, I have actually purchased books after reading your reviews. (Jitterbug Perfume is one that comes to mind and I'm sure there have been others.)
Good luck...
You are the bomb!
