I must have hit clear instead of send!

Anyhow, I believe his next book was about the guy he never met in jail.

It kinda makes me sick that it'll probably sell better for the next few weeks than it did before.

And yeah, landing on Oprah's book list is any writers dream. It means instant success. I like her reading list - she really does go to painstaking lengths to pick good quality stuff. I know when she chose this book, some people were shocked because it's blunt and vulgar.

I can understand being a fustrated writer trying to make a living at what you do. I can understand even testing waters to see if your story would sell as non-fiction. But doing it and letting people like Oprah talk you up to billions of people? He's a low life. And yes, Rob - I liked your sentiment about the word. This guy can't live up to that.
