BOOK EXCERPT:
Meet Mr. J, a mouth-breathing-barbaric-lousy-writer so self involved that he failed Astronomy 101 because he literally thought the world revolved around him. Someone once stole his identity but it was quickly returned . . . along with several others to choose from. Mr. J is writing a new book or as he called it "an Amish blog". It will probably have more unread pages than crack dealer's beeper during the 80's.

Indie Interrogation: Mr. J

By Lil Nubi

"Today we have an interview with the man, they myth, the legend Mr. J! No, not Mr. J from Americas Next Top Model, but the other Mr. J. Yeah, that's right...the author of "Amphigory Almanac: Hebetudinous Humour, Pedantic Prose, & Linguistic Levit: Meet Mr. J". I simply call it Meet Mr. J, its easier to remember and a hell of a lot easier to say. Let the fun begin, shall we?

Who is Mr. J? I mean, does the J stand for something or do you prefer to remain anonymous? I understand if you don't want your celebrity status to interrupt your daily going-ons.

-Mr.J is either the fake author of a real book or the real author of a fake book.

-Broken down it's: Three syllable sounds, two lowercase letters, and one witty writer.

-It's an acronym of "Mostly Ridiculous Jokes".

-I don't need a pseudonym to keep me from being a famous face in the writer world, my lack of talent as an author has that covered. I'm so unrecognizable that even my driver's license photo is just a picture of a superimposed question mark stamped over a faceless silhouette.

Upon reading your book, the only conclusions I can draw are that you are either schizophrenic, or have an identity complex. Which of these terms can you relate to more?

-I don't have schizophrenia, one of my alter personalities does.

-I have multiple personalities, unfortunately, they're all boring, dull, or both so it's hard to chose which to be which has lead to my identity complex. I'm not sure which real me to pretend to be or which fake me I really am.

-It all started when my identity was stolen then the thief realized who I was and returned it immediately along with several others to chose from. Since then, to me, books on 'self help' seem identical to books on 'helping others'.

The book took me twice as long to read than it normally would of, I had to look every third word up in a dictionary. Do you consider yourself to be a wordsmith, and do you talk like this in normal conversation?

-The word choice can

I look at my growing pile of read, but unreviewed, books. This one among the several thick ones.

How does it feel looking at a book, long finished, and ceaselessly crying out for a review?

At age fifty-one the mother of Austrian writer Peter Handke committed suicide. Overdosed herself with a full bottle of sleeping pills. At her funeral Handke strongly felt the need to write about his mother. But seven weeks had passed and he hadn't done so. Finally, he went to his typewriter and begins his "A Sorrow Beyond Dreams: A Life Story." It starts with the brief newspaper report of his mother's suicide. Then continues:


I had better get to work before the need to write about her...dies away and I fall back into the dull speechlessness with which I reacted to the news of her suicide. Yes, get to work: for, intensely as I sometimes feel the need to write about my mother, this need is so vague that if I didn't work at it I would, in my present state of mind, just sit at my typewriter pounding out the same letters over and over again..."


It feels exactly like that, after reading a book, and not finding the wherewithal to write something, or anything, about it that can pass off as a review. You will sit across your computer keyboard, stare at the empty, waiting screen and you look at the book, flip over its pages, and...nothing. You have nothing to say. Your brain sends nothing to your fingers. Helpless, they touch the keys hoping it'll ignite some inspiration. But still, nothing.


This book is a compilation of jokes. I liked it because some of the jokes are good so I gave it 3 stars. This is my review: I said no point of view, of anything new, but it's up to you. halduuhgnjenns,iieoos...
