Hello, melancholy. I greatly enjoyed the first Wilfrid Sheed book I've read, "Office Politics," and I was browsing his other works on LT when I saw your brief review of his "Essays in Disguise," which led me to your other, interesting reviews of works I think I'll like, e.g., The Crying of Lot 49, Reading Myself and Others, Reading Comics, Glover's Mistake, and On the Road. Several of these are on my TBR list, but others are new to me. So, thanks for the leads.

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:
