Wow, it's a real book.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_34th_Rule
- I really thought it was a fake at first too.
  
  I just bought a copy at Thrift Books! I'll have it framed.
  
  The memes hit hardest when they’re not memes.
- The story in the novel was an allegory for the internment of Japanese Americans during the Second World War, and was inspired by George Takei's experiences during that period.
  Surprisingly wholesome, too.
  
  I'm not sure I would describe the Japanese Internment camps as "wholeosme"
- Yep. I have it.

Ah yes the 34th rule of acquisition: ~~war is good for business~~ take their money while they’re distracted by tits

- I was warned and yet I clicked.
  
  May this be a warning to everybody else
- Mooogieees!

Awww… Quark wrote a book about himself as the main character. I can’t tell if that's endearing or sad. At least the subject matter is serious. Wonder if it’s any good…
- If I played a Trek character, I would write a 10-novel series with my character as the main.
  And not some 60K-word/200-page things either. They would be monster tomes that would put GRR Martin to shame (especially, since I would finish mine).
  
  And he would fuck.
- Wait until you hear about stitch in time

It is the foolish ferengi who asks for what he wants, the cunning take it and don't reveal their intentions
