pressed, printed, packaged
so what is up with people i kind of know writing books? ben osborne's new book about the brooklyn cyclones and coney island comes out soon (though i have been given a copy to peruse - details to come) where it will join will leitch's life as a loser compendium, and claire zulkey's girls! girls! girls! in the "tangential acquaintences" section of my library. once i actually buy all of them. which i will. seriously.
in terms of actual friends and relatives, the official brother of t.s.o.a. wrote a book in 2002 for national novel writing month, while word is that kfan has a novel in the works. anyone interested in the publishing rights to t.s.o.a. is welcome to contact me sometime after i fall asleep tonight.

I have a book Ben wrote about basketball for a European publisher--I randomly spotted it at a book fair in the lobby of my Cingular office building in ATL and I was like, 'Gee, that's a coincidence! Someone named Ben Osbourne writing about basketball.' My friend Carl Cluck wrote a book called "Debt Free By 30" which is funny AND informative. Too bad I'm not debt-free. I would like to read Jeremy's novel.

i would like to let you read the novel, Claire. it was a nightmare to write but i love having the end product. if you're into teen melodrama and daydreams then by all means, take a gander.

Oh yeah! Thanks, Jeremy. I would love to read it. Have Jamie give it to me or I'll remind you to bring a copy to the wedding in Ohio. It's LESS THAN five months away. Yippe, and I'm guessing we get to meet Sebastian, too! :)
