The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

15 January 2008

I'd add a shelf for these

I will, of course, buy anything with Writer Chick's name on it, and for that matter, here are a baker's dozen other tomes I would happily buy if someone had the temerity to write them:

  1. Lawn Care for the Lazy

  2. Historical Stock Market Prices, 2020 [2009 edition]

  3. Catch-33: The Saga of President Minderbinder

  4. The In-Sink-Erator Guide to Biodiesel

  5. Let's Move New Orleans to Minnesota!

  6. Fred Thompson's Dating Tips

  7. How Tim Blair Beat Cancer

  8. Crush That Libido Once and For All

  9. How to Be Decisive — Or Should You?

  10. Giuliani's 9/11 Handbook, Volume 12

  11. A Connecticut Yankee in King Solomon's Mines

  12. How to Get People to Pay You Not to Blog

  13. The Case for Sterilizing Britney Spears

For some reason, I couldn't add these to my Amazon Wish List.

I'd be happy to settle for just a copy of "The Guide to Being An Adult: What You Were Supposed to Be Told When You Turned 21 But No One Bothered To."

Chapters would include things like how to keep the house clean in 15 minutes a week, how not to get your feelings hurt (and not just how not to show it; I figured that one out long ago), how to invest cleverly, basic plumbing, and how to bargain for a car without looking like an idiot.

LOL - number 13 gets my vote. Is it written by her mom or Dr. Phil? Cripes!

What about the single-page postage-stamp-sized "Everything Men Know About Women"?

Is there a large-print edition?
