Noticed you liked Vernon God Little, 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 southern (and a bit dark). 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,

Chris

I just read your reivew of The Mindful Way Through Depression. It's a shame that you don't think it is evidence based. If you had looked at the notes section at the back, you would have seen countless references to proper journal articles, many read by the authors. All the authors are or were high level researchers with many publications to their names. Specifically, you should look up the references to the notes for page 3, as they provide good evidence in decent peer review journals that exactly the therapy described here is shown to be effective at preventing relapse in depressive volunteers. You might also be interested to know that the NHS in the UK is trialling this therapy as they believe it is more cost effective than other treatments (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/775463...).
