Photos and reactions from readers of The Wakeful Wanderer's Guide Book 1
The latest shipment of additions to Mount #TBR have arrived. An Irving novel I've been meaning to get around to for a while, plus a trio of SF goodies from @brettsavory, @kellyoyo and @jiminfantino. #amreading
Just wanted to say, I finished the book and it’s great. It had a cool William Gibson vibe, or like upbeat Harlan Ellison meets grumpy Douglas Adams. Such a cool world you’ve crafted and a great conceit of the travel log. I love the simplicity of thexting and a post-capitalism point - based economy of merit. Really enjoyed it, looking forward to wherever you go with it. - @BenariLee
I’m not the only one excited to finally have a copy of JIM INFANTINO’s first science fiction novel. 😀ðŸ‘ðŸ»
I’m only halfway through this novel, and it’s already changing the way I see the world. I have loved Jim Infantino‘s music for a long time. Now I get to enjoy the interiority of his imagination.

I really enjoyed this, and am now sad it's over (but looking forward to the rest of the series). There are lots of moving parts here, many (groups of) characters, and some Big Concepts. But that's only appropriate for a Wakeful Wanderer. Takes a while to settle into all that's happening and pick up on the tech and the associated terminology, but it's well worth it. Jim's a skilled songwriter, and for a debut novel, this definitely kept the attention of this picky reader. - Amy M.
LoMa enjoys a relaxing read. Go LoMa!
"So psyched to dig into this! (And before you ask, we may be related but we’re not sure how. We definitely left Africa around the same time and our ancestors probably had a hand in wiping out those hippie Neanderthal. Perhaps Palermo...)" - K. Infantino
"So cool that I can hold a physical copy of @jiminfantino's book after so much toil on his part. Congrats buddy! Really enjoyed watching this come together and looking forward to reading it as a whole :D" - @ben_burnes
"Yay! I got my print copy of @jiminfantino's fab book. Doesn't it look good? Wouldn't you like one?" - @ScottKAndrews

"You managed to create a compelling alternate universe and transport the reader there. And like all the best sci-fi and fantasy, traveling into your world makes us see our own a little clearer from a way we didn't expect." - Sylvan Groth
Loving the book so far! My family has long time followed your music and flash videos -- saw you once, live, in Pt. Townsend, WA (2006).
I posted a photo on your Facebook -- I suspect we (Cap'n Crabby, Admiral Niki, Bosum Bumkin the ship's ðŸˆ) are your first readers in Tunisia, where we are overwintering on s/v Grateful. - Niki
The first book from @jiminfantino has arrived as I continue to support fellow #indieauthors #WritingCommnunity - Fish Phillips @TheFishPhillips
If you’re ever in Orleans eat at Whisks! Enjoying your book on my journey thru the cape. - R.K.

Recently completed: wakefulwanderer.com by my friend @jiminfantino who thankfully is writing book 2. Fantastic future fiction, great story, inventive, thought provoking.
Finished while on vacation in Oregon where I was wakeful wandering myself. Perfect setting. - @clgeiger01834
