Noticed you liked Fight Club, 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 disturbed bunch of kids and 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 in case you're interested:

Thank you so much for naming the book I could not remember (The Marvelous Mud Washing Machine)! I have been trying to find it since I had my son 5 years ago!! Your profile pic is hilarious, and I think that we have quite a bit in common in the author catagory...might I recomend a really funny short book, called "Hate Mail" by M.M. Garcia, I think you may enjoy it...Thanks again!

You know, I've clicked on your profile page a few times, and I'm a bit embarassed to admit, always got a laugh out of your picture. Today's the first time I realized that it was photo-shopped. Fantastic!

Thanks so much for naming my book! That was driving me crazy.

Thank you for joining Pro and Con (Religion). I hope this is a place where the comfortable are afflicted and the afflicted are comforted. Let’s go it with all seriousness, but I hope we can have great fun at the same time. If I were God, I would part the waters of distance, and instantly transport us all to this great pub I used to frequent in Germany with a group of other Auslanders, but alas, I am but a lowly mortal, and so we have to do this via the internet.

All I ask is that every one remain respectful, even if there are times when you are spewing your coffee over the screen.

How you doing?

Thanks Weener! You named that book. (Here on Earth) My son's girlfriend had been asking me about this book that she read. She liked it pretty well and wanted to re-read it. Just so happens I had it in a stack of hardbacks that I was getting ready to donate! Thanks for your help.

"These last few remind me of one I got over the phone: someone called to ask if we had public e-mail addresses that that things could be sent to, so if someone didn't have an e-mail address but needed to receive something through e-mail, they could get it sent to this address and pick it up at the library.

As if any ol' schlub couldn't get an e-mail address for free in two minutes..."

This is your post from the humorous library requests (which I'm just now reading). Part of my responsibilities at our library is to help patrons with learning to use the computer. I often get older folks, who, bless their hearts, are trying to move out of the 19th century into the 21st. It's really something to see 80 year old patrons try to learn the computer concepts we take for granted. Usually, they try to draw upon their own past to make reference.

It occurs to me that your caller was thinking of the post office's mailbox address "general delivery" often used in cities and small towns in the past. Transients could receive their mail by going to the post office and giving their name. The postal workers would look in the general delivery mail box for their letters.

Knowing little of the computer and such things as hotmail and the others. I'm sure your caller made the leap to the concept of general delivery.

Hi

I'm interested in reading more Chicano fiction and non-fiction and I saw in one of your posts that you enjoy reading these books. Do you have any recommendations? I'm especially drawn to books about the immigrant experience as I tutor ESL students, primarily from Mexico.

Thanks for any suggestions.
