I'm struggling to remember whether 'The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse' by Robert Rankin was in fact insightful. My senses me tell it wasn't however you will find yourself frequently admiring the almost non-sensical world in the story. Captures a very nontraditional writing style to boot.

Yes, that's the one I mean... I just looked on the google...

now I know what you mean with 'going a little overboard' with his online marketing campaign. Lol, I just created some uh... 'governments' of my own there, I wonder what will happen to them. I don't think I'll join the UN though...
It is fun though

, I wonder how much it's costing him though and if the sales of the books will pay for all that bandwidth.

Sorry *cuts back on lecturing mode*

My fav. humor writer writes fanfiction, ever heard of Cassie Claire? *ducks head in embarassment* Anyway, she cracks me up. Often.

I didn't mean to give the impression I condemn all old books, it is just that those I've read I simply haven't enjoyed, not that I've read a great amount of them either.

Any guesses as to what my national animal is?
