thinkbuddha, that's quite an accomplishment. Way to go, man. I hope you'll be writing your next novel in Chinese? How does it feel to walk through life with so many 汉字 at your fingertips?
In other news, I'm lagging the pack at 1999 characters as of this morning. 1999 is a good amount, but I could definitely use 1001 more.
I'm looking forward to the planned leaderboards for all this stuff.
