I just got in the mail Monica Crowley’s surprisingly vulgar new book What the (Bleep) Just Happened?: The Happy Warrior’s Guide to the Great American Comeback
(important people like me don’t buy books; they just send them to us). Anyway, I thought I should mention it as I like Monica Crowley and she was nice enough to have me on her radio show to promote my book (which is getting a nice boost from hers thanks to Amazon’s “Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought” feature). It looks like a fun book, and it goes over exactly how Obama has been ruining our country.
I’m also reading A Clash of Kings: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Two
. Despite how long those Game of Thrones books are, they’re surprisingly fast-paced. And I like that Joffery character; he seems to know what he’s doing. I’m sure he’ll sort everything out.
SarahK is reading the Mistborn series
which I recommended to her a while ago. She got halfway through the prologue and decided it was too boring. Having nothing to read recently, she gave it another try and has done pretty much nothing but read them and is already on the third book.
Buttercup is reading Hop on Pop
. It’s very cute.

I actually just finnished mistborn: alloy of law last night. And what A clash of kings needed was more joffrey slapping
I almost gave up on “Hop on Pop” after that business about fish in a tree. I mean, come on — how can that be? But if you can suspend disbelief, it turns out to be a satisfying read. Still, I wish Geisel would have gone into a little more detail regarding Dad’s unresolved existential angst which was apparently precipitated by his “bad day.”
Don’t wait for the movie, as some of its conceptual elements would be next to impossible to translate to the big screen; however, I’d like to think that Aronofsky could pull it off.
You really need to get your Princess away from her current tome. This book has proven to incite incestuous thoughts in young, impressionble minds. Thank goodness y’all don’t live near Idaho. Rumor has it that this book is a primer for those there in the early grades. And everybody knows what they say about them Spudsuckers ( nod-nod-wink-wink).
OTOH, I would recommend that you give the young process the gift that is “Green eggs and ham”. You can train up young Buttercup in the Ways of the Pork. This of course starts with her introduction to Bacon. And what is the relevance of Bacon and this story you ask?
Silly Boy, everybody knows that Bacon aspires to grow up to one day be a ham. I’m still trying to figure out the “Sam I am” metaphor but I promise to get back with you on that once I’ve discerned its true meaning.

Sorry to hear you are impotent Franky. Maybe you can get a federally funded peger pomp?
Mistborn rocks the house. I already knew you had good taste in politics, but now I know you have good taste in books as well. Those are easily my favorite books written in the past decade. I’m still annoyed with Robert Jordan for distracting Sanderson from the Stormlight books, though. Argh! We’re still on book one of ten!
Hop on Pop is a dangerous book for little minds if you are going to play on the floor with little PB. She is going to get the idea in her head that you might need hopped on.
If she likes “Hop on Pop,” she will love “Go Dog Go.” Highly recommended.
If I write a book and send it to you, will you review it on IMAO?
