Please, Allow Me to Gush, Part II

I am just stupidly giddy today. Like spacey, day dreaming, beaming, giddy. I don't think I've glowed quite this much since I met Mr. Lacy.

The latest is a rave review from Salon.com. I feel like so many of the reviews aren't just exciting because they are positive, but they talk about exactly the ideas I wanted to get across in the book. The reviewers seem to completely get the reason I wrote it. I can't imagine anything better as an author. (Also, check out this interview with David Eckoff)

An author!! I just wrote that without irony! Writing a book has been my dream for years and I can't believe it's here, and people are actually buying and reading and reviewing it. Not to mention my excitement that apparently 300 people are coming to help me celebrate tonight! Please bring $20 for your own autographed copy everyone! :) A few rounds of drinks and even some snacks are on the house, so just apply that to the cost of a book! Because it was short notice, I bought 150 to resell and would like to not owe Penguin thousands of dollars....

And if you do buy it, come back here for book forums and discussion. I'm going to regularly post questions and hopefully readers will comment. I can't wait to hear from all of you! Thanks to everyone who made this possible. I owe you all tremendously.

Even ValleyWag can't bring me down today!

How many books will be available tonight? Will there be enough for people who aren't on any lists?

Hey david!

I bought 150 copies. I am sure I'll have enough and probably some left over.

Big spike in rank (in a good way)!
