Book written entirely in txt msg lol ;)

The first text message only novel has been published, and of course it was done in Finland. (All Finnish people have double jointed thumbs, giving them the clear advantage in text messaging.)

Here is the book synopsis from CNN:

"The Last Messages" tells the story of a fictitious information-technology executive in Finland who resigns from his job and travels throughout Europe and India, keeping in touch with his friends and relatives only through text messages.

His messages, and the replies -- roughly 1,000 altogether -- are listed in chronological order in the 332-page novel written by Finnish author Hannu Luntiala.

The texts are rife with grammatical errors and abbreviations commonly used in regular SMS traffic.
