Noticed you liked Clockwork Orange, 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 book since it's also about a group of violent kids (and also a bit dark). I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Let me know if you're interested. 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,

I'm guessing that's a rhetorical question? But if not, the answer is a) too many library book sales and b) friends who see my books as a lending library and actually return what they borrow ... with interest (that is, more books).

I find your comments about the Russian people highly offensive. I hope Librarything revokes your early reviewer status.
