MJ, I'm sorry about the break in continuity. I had to take care of some urgent pimping for Michel Houellebecq, but I just called his office and his secretary says there's a line of well-endowed 23 year old blondes stretching halfway round the block. So that's under control and I can get back to your book. It looks like more fun, to be honest.

"That was like starring in six porn films while serving two restaurants full of fussy eaters while scaling Ben Nevis with a suction pad and a spoon," was the simile she chose.
"Welcome to the literary world, honeybeanpie," I remarked ironically, picking the hairs out of my soup.

You hate the Decameron? Fuck you. You struggled to 'slog through' Middlemarch? Fuck you. You found A Sentimental Education too self-indulgent? Fuck you. You can't follow the Chaucerian English of Chaucer? Fuck you. You think Charlotte Brontë's Shirley is meandering and preachy? Correct. Sorry, I mean fuck you.

MJ, you sly bastard. So you intentionally put your friends' names into the book to check if they've read the thing, and you admit it in so many words? If so, I think that so far I'm one jump ahead (see previous update). Probably just a lucky hit though.

Not everything in this so-called comic novel is funny. Far from it. For example, I appear as half of a ludicrous composite character that does not resemble me in the slightest. I can tell you now, MJ, nobody is going to be the least bit amused.
