PENG! review

[benchilada]

You remember kickball, right? You loved it. And when your foot connected with that weird, bouncy, red rubber ball, what sound did it make? Why...I think it went...PENG!

These are a few of my student workers at the University of Illinois library.  AND THEY ARE KILLING FOR POSESSION OF PENG!

your student workers are amazing, as is kickball. I'm loving these reviews. :)

[benchilada]

You DID read the five page preview, yes?

[khamsin]

not yet but hey - do you still have epileptic checked out? it's still on my library account.

[benchilada]

GAH! I still do! But I started reading it Sunday night.

I have a Top Secret 350 word story that I have to write tonight because I might sell it to A Major Magazine...but I'll read Epileptic, too. :)

"That's right, we're talking mystical powered pitches, freeze-breath moves to stop the ball, and dialogue that will make your inner child wanna drink two liters of Pepsi, eat a whole bag of Cheetoes, and then jump off the room 'cause the mothefucker KNOWS he can fly. Which he can't. But, while he lays quietly in Inner Intensive Care, he can read Peng all he wants."

This is probably the best review I've read on it. If anything will compel me to hunt it down...

Heyyyyy. I think Interlibrary Loan might be the answer! *evil grin*

I'm glad you liked the review. I enjoy reviews, because,

A) I generally don't piss around with things I hate. If I didn't like them, why the hell am I telling people why? Maybe a two-sentence review, like DA VINCI CODE: This should have been called DEUS EX MACHINA: The Novel. Thankfully it read at a third grade level, so I was able to finish it in one shitting,

B) I get to write paragraphs like the one you liked,

C) PENG is probably too new for ILL. I'm thinking of buying an extra copy for the U of I library, though.

GARROTING IS FUN

[benchilada]

Betty picked that herself. We taught her the proper hand-wrap, but it was her idea, and we were proud of her for it.

NOW GO BUY PENG!
Do it and I'll buy you a burrito. Or something.

buy me a weinermobile

[benchilada]

I have a weinermobile whistle.
Prove to me that you have bought PENG and it is yours. I'll even autograph it. With a pen. And my lips.

[digitante]

Spazztacular. These are some fine books you're unearthing.

[benchilada]

NOW YOU MUST BUY IT.

Seriously.

Remind me tomorrow to do a proper review of HALF EMPTY for you.
My copy is loaned out...

[digitante]

Yes sir! Just once we pay off this crib, and changing table, and diapers, and onesies and footsies and snugglies and woozlies. I now officially know more about diaper bags than any man deserves to.

All I can say is, I hope the kid turns out like you!

[benchilada]

That's very sweet of you AND goes to show that you don't know me that well. :)

I'll also keep you informed on a Top Secret benjamin Might Sell a Small Fiction Thing to a Magazine Project...

Is "I came out of your stomach because you suck," not one of the Great Lines of the 21st Century?
