“Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public.”

Wishing you more vigorous pile-ups, put-downs and place-mats than you could possibly use for 2013.And sizzaro buccess, as well.
Happy Holidays Mykle! If you have a chance you should youtube "Fruitcake" by The Superions. It's bizarre and hilarious so I think you'll like it. Destination Christmas is the album name and I'll be listening to this throughout the weekend :) CHEERS!

You can take up as much shelf space as you want, as long as you don't try to pimp out your books to me. *Lethal would hate to choke a bitch before Xmas*
I suppose one could say violence is tasteful, depending on one's taste. Would you recommend your books to a middle grader? That's about my level :).I'm not big on kittens, but I managed puppies pretty well, so I know where to start :D. Thanks.
Which book of yours isn't going to make me retch/wretched? I have a subzero violence/gore/ick factor threshold. Me too actually.
I can't deny there's a lot of violence/dismemberment/people-eating in my books, but it's ... umm ... tasteful? Am I allowed to say violence is tasteful? It's not intended to shock. (But you should get a second opinion.)
EYEHEART EVERYTHING is very mild-mannered. One guy does get run over in it, but he lives. And there is a restaurant with dead people hanging from the ceiling but only on pages 126 & 127 -- skip those two. All the other pages are full of kittens!
I figured if I asked Aunt Bad Advice that's what I'd get.Which book of yours isn't going to make me retch/wretched? I have a subzero violence/gore/ick factor threshold.
Autoantipriapismic oscillation.It gets the millionaires every time.
It's okay: I'm secretly a hooker with a heart of gold.

You're going to regret friending me. I'm sorry. I should have confessed first. I'm a millionaire.
I might be able to slip it onto a cultural studies food table.
I would love to see it misfiled in the cooking section.
when I bought your new book today the cashier got all freaked out because she thought it was nonfiction.
Ah! The "seagull" is "flying" "south" for the "summer" and she's very pleased with her bribe.
Congratulations! Your "files" have been "deleted". Also, your "dog" has been "combed," and we have transferred two hundred thousand "lemmings" to your "handbag".
All right, I've done my side of the bargain. Now you're required to destroy the microfiche and flush the ashes.Hello!
All my books exceed US Military specifications for light fiction.They can withstand three weeks in a fungus test chamber and five blows with a nine-pound-hammer. You can also use them to defend your life against any enemy soldier who is allergic to soy ink.
I think you should know there was a fire and water dripped all over the table your books were on and ruined everything else. But your books are fine. Once you've taken on a bear clearly you can kick water's ass.
if you look closely, it is actually a baby polar bear face. gruesome hollydays.
yes, the harp seal wreath is an endearing northern tradition.
