This book was generated using 300 Likes, each with a lookahead of 1000 characters.
This version uses a thread per Like#_read so that the objects can read simultaneously rather than lining up and taking turns. If all objects are in motion, then the collective reading stops and each object prints out whatever it last liked forming a ‘final reading’. In the last version, the program would only cycle to the next text if the reading died (if all objects stopped moving).
