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 Paris Trout, and thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark (in the same vein as Paris Trout). 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,

Thank you for the very good review. I wonder if it would be too much trouble to post your review of Rocket Man to Amazon and Barnes and Noble? I would really appreciate it. Thank you again for the review.
Thanks for adding me to interesting libraries, although I'm curious as to why, as we share hardly any books.
They sound like the same book - I was asking, as the MNHS reprinted a version in the last 20 years. I just got a copy today for $5 in Anoka, and was pleased about it.

It was a he, and he actually was their driver while Nabokov was writing Lolita. He drove them to California, if memory serves. He was also an assistant to Dr. Seuss while a student at Cornell and earned a mention in Oh, The Places You'll Go.
Cool that you have the Minnesota Centennial Cook Book as well! Is yours also spiral bound? My mentor was once Nabokov's driver, of all things!
