Lives of the Rich and Famous

Just had to post this. One of our book authors (Louise E.) stopped into our store to buy a chair for her desk. Quite the chair...$1000 price tag. Apparently it is identical to one Denny Crane sat in on "Boston Legal". Now, why ANYONE would purchase a desk chair for that amount of money is beyond me, but we thank her. Hopefully she will be quite inspired for her next book while she sits in that chair!

For Readers with Short Attention Spans

Picked up a fun book at the library yesterday: It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure (implies presence of early version of six-word memoirs). Here's an example: "Met wife at her bachelorette party". Just looked on Amazon and there are a number of these (propagating like the Chicken Soup books). Something to have in your lap while you wait for ob-gyn checkup or renewal of license plate tabs.
