Hey,
I saw your book at the Union Square B & N, and I was like HEY I know him. Just thought I'd send you a shout.
I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.
Argh...this is terrible...
Again, I'm very sorry.
-Jeremy
Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.
-Jeremy :)
P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Hi Tao!
Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.
-Jeremy :)
Hi Tao!
If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite novel of all time? Or novels?
Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous friendships, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.
-Jeremy :)
Hey, I came across the interview of you in Giant Robot... I'll be sure to check out your books sometime!
Hmmm, I liked E.E.E., especially my signed copy...supercool, thank you. I simply have a slight preference for the collection of stories in Bed and so gave Bed 5 and E.E.E. 4 stars...maybe others felt the same way. And (a more cynical view), maybe the higher rating reflect something of the need for shorter doses of what you prescribe...perhaps they reflect our diminishing attention-span.
Whatever it is, keep up the wonderful writing!
thank you for signing my books. i enjoyed your reading @ 21 grand last night. i liked when you laughed while reading your story.
So, did I win a copy of e.e.e? And what did you think of what I did to your bird?

:-)
the next two people who message me their address i will send e.e.e. with drawings inside
i wrote the kung fu book in 9th grade, i don't like it anymore but i'm not going to deny i wrote it
Tao, I think you should send a free copy of Eeeee Eee Eeee to all your friends on Goodreads, ...especially me. :-) Happy Birthday!
Note: You must find it somewhat amusing to be credited on Goodreads with having written a chinese language exercise manual called Kung Fu. Ni keyi shuo zhongguo hua ma?
the word on the street is that you are going to be in oakland sometime in late july. is this true? i am so there.
your tiny sideways face picture with hand and moustache (?) is freaking me out.
i hope you aren't getting fake money for those fake jobs.
i haven't forgotten to book you, incidentally. i think you'll go in january since you want to be with stobb? that's his available date. otherwise, i can book you before then if you like, providing your fake schedule doesn't get in the way. please let me know your preference, o exercise master (how has that not been rated yet?)~
Wait, are you suggesting someone on goodreads (or any social site for that matter) is adding peeople to their friends list . . . randomly!? (gasp)
Kick me in the head if I'm wrong, but isn't that what 90% of people on these sites do? Susie, Ryan, be honest - did you take everyone on your friends list out for a cup of coffee, share memories from middle-school, and offer to walk their dog before you added them? My guess is no.
So the dude's asked everyone and his brother to be his friend. Everyone on the list (including you) said yes, so it doesn't seem like anyone is really hurting too much, now are they?
Relax. Go rate a book or organize your shelves.
