LJ, Fount of all knowledge

*shakes crystal ball* Oh, LJ, Fount of All Knowledge: recommend unto me exercise DVDs or routines. (Nothing that will bugger a bad knee any worse than it is, please.) I need to get beyond "ho, hum, treadmill."

Dear Author

Dear Author,

If you're interested enough in publicity to turn your book's title into a URL, I've got one word for you: EXCERPT!

I don't care if three other published authors, your publicist, and your mother think this is the greatest novel since Dickens, will cure psoriasis, and serves as both a dessert and a floor wax. (Publicists say that to all the girls.) I want to see for myself if it's going to make me spit acid like a velociraptor with reflux.

Signed,
I don't think so!

(I have signed up for another one sight unseen having found the excerpt: Fearless Leader is right about that one. It sure as hell isn't the standard cozy!)
