better than the lottery, part deuce

as promised, my second lottery entry.

more candor called me on friday (i think it was) and advised me that he would be sending me a book. not any book, but an ADVANCED COPY OF A BOOK.

i jumped up out of my chair scaring everyone at our dinner table and yelped with joy. my heart did a dance of happiness.

the book is none other than my home-boy AUGUSTEN BURROUGH’S new book, “a wolf at the table”.

(don’t tell him that i called him home-boy just in case that would offend him.)

the release date is april 29th and i’ve already ordered it.  (NOT PRE-ORDERED IT MIND YOU) if you say “pre-order”, somewhere in texas a beautiful man’s head will pop off and punch you in the eye.

lucky for me, i will be getting a second copy. both of these i will treasure just as i do all of his other books, and kept in a very safe place.

i am almost halfway through the book and i love it, it IS different than anything he’s ever written before. i’ve heard augusten mention on the video on the barnes and noble link that he doesn’t write “for” anyone. he writes his truth and he’s fortunate that so many people relate to his truth.

i have nothing but love for you augusten, and your little dogs too!
