TK in novel

[George Hull]

There's a fairly nice TK scene in a book called "How I Paid for College" by Marc Acito. But I'm not going to tell you what pages it's on because it's a good book and you ought to read it for yourself!!

Dear George,

Thank you for the information on this novel.

But thank you even more for making sure that those of us who want to see this tickle scene will need to devote much time to reading the whole novel (or skimming through it). Even though we may THINK we have other important things to do, I'm sure you know what's best for our lives.

I barely know how to read. That's why I'm glad about the internet. Finally, a place where I don't actually have to understand or acknowledge what people say before I say what I think.

Well, I'd sort of hoped that the headline TK in Novel might have warned away the illiterates. I was also trying to show a litttle respect to the author who probably had more in mind when he spend months or years writing his book than providing a couple of quick paragraphs for some guy to whack off to. Finally I should have realized that people who spend their time obsessing about which anime characters are more ticklish or pasting Britney Spears' face onto the bodies of porn stars lead much too full and active lives to waste their time reading. My most sincere apologies.

I'm not illiterate and I read a lot, but I'm certainly not going to read a novel recommended at random just because it contains some tickling somewhere in it. And if you didn't want to share the tickling, why post it here? If you're just recommending a novel, you should probably post it in general discussion. And if not, I don't think you should get so bent out of shape that people might expect you to actually be sharing the mainstream scene that you're dangling in front of them.

Who The Hell Are You To Warn Away Anyone?

Am I misunderstanding your intentions, or did you not just post a tickle material reference in a TICKLING forum, and then withold the specifics of that reference because YOU think we should read a book that YOU found interesting?

First off, this is not the "Tickling in English Literature" book club, pal. Either you found some tickling related material, and wish to share it, or you don't.

Don't come to a Tickling forum and then berate the members' intelligence because we don't find a fetish forum to be the appropriate venue with which to intermingle our intellectual interests. I promise you there are people here infinitely more well-read than yourself.

If you go to Amazon, search for the book, and then use the "Search Inside" feature, you can find the part that I assume George is talking about. Sorry for not typing it here, but the results come back as an image, and I'm admitedly very lazy. To be honest, it didn't seem that great to me, unless Amazon's holding back on us (I've had trouble with Search Inside before).

Dear George,

If you look down your nose at the citizens of this forum ("people who spend their time obsessing about which anime characters are more ticklish or pasting Britney Spears' face onto the bodies of porn stars"), I wonder why you grace us with your learned presence. (You're not one of those self-hating ticklers, are you?)

It seems like you really DO hope to raise the intellectual and cultural level of ticklers and -lees far and wide. Well, we're doing just fine, thanks.

So...what page IS the tickling on in "How I Paid for College"? Knowing this would definitely free me up to solve one of mankind's great mysteries: Who's more ticklish, Katie Holmes or Jennifer Love Hewitt?

:-o

OMG!!!!!! god forbid anybody actually reccomend a book they enjoyed to spread the enjoyment to other people. There is life outside tickling you know. If there is tickling within the outside world then I embrace it wholeheartedly. I'm sure dug enjoys people reading his tickling stories so why not others?

Hey UB,

Reading is good, books are good, recommending stuff is good. Not sharing the page number of a tickling scene in a mainstream novel because you feel everyone must read the whole thing: priceless.

I'm not sure you followed the issues here. Please see MTP Jeff's comments, above.

Be well,

I just think people should have either left the suggestion to read the book or taken it not made a big issue of it. End of discussion

UB:

Common courtesy has become such an enigma to so many people, that someone like yourself (no offense intended...truly) doesn't even recognize bad manners when he sees them. It's not your fault. You may have developed a tolerance for it, and have come to accept it as the normal part of human interaction in our society. That's fine, but please, speak only for yourself as there are some of us who remember that "Hey guys, check out this book." is much nicer, than "Hey stupid, check out this book." (metaphorically speaking)

Never read a book that you liked so much that you wanted to reccommend to anyone else? I'm sure the intentions were good however the arguments intentions aren't. Such a shame.

 

[TMF Jeff]

I've read plenty of books that I wanted to recommend, but I've never posted about a tickling scene from one in the mainstream section of a fetish forum and then acted shocked when that was the part people were interested in, or refused to share the details of it and the insulted people who thought that was a little weird.

Let he who cast the first stone.....read that one?

Yes, and I'm pretty sure you mean "Let he who is without sin..."

Dear UB,

To follow up on ShadowTklr's fine remarks: You are mistaking tolerance or civility for the contemporary aversion to anything that smacks of "value judgments". George was certainly entitled to recommend a book. But we are also entitled to note that the manner in which he did so was a touch arrogant or selfish. All he had to do to be a mensch was give the page number of the section with tickling. I know pointing this out offends some people's "why can't everybody just get along" approach to things.

Now, you are misreading or misapplying the words of Jesus, in my opinion. Jesus did not mean to say that no one should express critical opinions of other people (although see Matthew 7:1-2 and Luke 6:37-38). I say this because Jesus himself expressed plenty of critical opinions of other people (please see, for example, John 8:42-47).

Jesus even cursed a fig tree for not producing fruit although "it was not the season for figs" (Mark 11:12-14).

Be well,

The pages revealed

Following caveman's instructions yields pages 18 and 230.
The first is a quick under the chin tickle, and the second
is a quick (7 lines) tussle with tickling. Not much to get
excited about.
