Noticed you liked Catcher in the Rye, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent suffering from mental illness. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm currently out of physical copies). If you're interested, send me your e-mail address (mine is mail@christophertusa.com), and I'll send you the e-book. Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the book before you commit:

Thanks,

Ha ha. I've been checking my interesting libraries and I noticed that you added Book Jungle to your favorite bookstores list. :)

Hey, I noticed you're from Springfield, and you don't have The Book Jungle listed as one of your favorite bookstores! I was up there about a month ago, and I ended up buying over 50 books from there... I wasn't sure if you've heard of them or not, but I thought I'd let you know about them.

Thanks for joining the group! Feel free to invite your friends, start topics, and generally be as involved as you're interested in being.
