Tobias and 1 other person liked Ryan's review of Cosmopolis: "Don DeLillo made a mistake writing about rap music in one sequence. Other than that, this is the best book about money I’ve ever read."

Thanks for the friendship, Tobias!

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation, which recently made the Bram Stoker Award Preliminary Ballot. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to vist my site here:

Happytimes,
-Jeremy :)

Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.
