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 Butcher Boy, 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:

On your Habermas photo, can you add a line break or two in the Credit line, so that the rest of the page will move back to the top.

Only four people on librarything have read Border Country by Raymond Williams. I know he's more widely read in cultural studies uni readers, but I loved this novel.
