Just a Sci-Fi Kid Like Me

So I've got a chapter in a book that came out just this week, and the editor wrote to all the contributors to let us know that the B&N chain would have copies on display in their stories. So I went this after to see if this would be true of the local store. And it was. But it was just amusing to me.



What you can't see, sadly, is that the table has copies of things like the "Mr T. vs. Chuck Norris" graphic novel and books with titles like The Snark Handbook and The Asshole's Guide to Email. YES THESE ARE REAL BOOKS. I SHIT YOU NOT.

Anyhow:



So there's the book. It is nonetheless cool that I am in a book in a Barnes&Nobles. That geeks me out.

I've been reading a friend's poetry. I'm going to post thoughts about writing and poetry sometime. But let me just say? Dude.

Via Bookslut:

An eighth grader's essay on why koalas are dumb.

Yeah.

Fair warning: If you surf the Textfiles site hours of your life will be eaten up.

going to The Golden Compass tonight. I am excited!
