Ken Bennett • Systems Analyst
“You’d think she’d go for something fresher, like an erotic vampire romance novel available exclusively through Amazon’s print-on-demand service.”
Shelby Best • Novelist
“I don’t know who I feel more embarrassed for: Jonathan Franzen for caving in and being on Oprah’s Book Club twice, or me, for not finding time to read a book while Oprah Winfrey manages to read several.”
Dane Sotos • Waiter
