I finished reading last night. I love the new excerpts from Marconi's book, which I don't think were in the PP edition. Especially at the very end, I thought that capped off the whole thing really nicely. And the extra mythology stuff about Korrock really opened it up and made it a lot more epic in scope, that Dave and John are only a tiny part of this massive struggle.

Also, I don't know if all the edits finally paid off or I've just read the story so many times that it finally clicked in my head but all the early stuff ties in a lot better with the stories later in the book. The Shitload stuff seems to lead logically to the Shit Narnia stuff instead of feeling like two different stories. Especially with the truncated Krissy Lovelace story in the middle.

I approve of this book, Wong. You are allowed to be proud of it now.

As an aside, I didn't notice any, but was there anything cut out of the current editions that you really liked, but no longer fit?

One of my favorite lines from the online version was inexplicably removed from the prologue.  Just as John was being strangled by the meat monster (if you haven't read it yet, you fucking heard me right. "meat monster"), I waited in giddy anticipation for his classic wit.  Why the hell did you remove the line "Dude, this is exactly what my horoscope said would happen today."?

I've finished "Book One" aka "They China Food" and I've loved all the changes and additions so far. But. The scene beside the dumpster where Dave acquires an envelope full of cash now omits the part where he explains away the enormous wound on the side of his face as missing his mouth with the straw of a takeaway soft drink. Sigh.

Yeah, that poor guy was probably unable to go through with his drug deal.

I missed Strum Two-Cues as well.  Strum Two-Cues was awesome.
