Hi,

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. Saw you liked The Wasp Factory, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

I noticed you have a lot of NYRB titles and I thought I'd let you know I created a group for those who enjoy New York Review Books. http://www.librarything.com/groups/newyo... Maren

We share a lot of the hard boiled writers and some
other high class fiction. Lately went on a Charles
Williams, Harry Whittington and Francis Carco binge.
Great stuff.
