T.A.O.M.E. (Part I)

Well, as promised, I ran out and bought a copy of The Areas of My Expertise by John Hodgman. I've yet to crack open the cover, though. In part because I haven't had the time today to read for an extended period of time and in part because the jacket sleeve enveloping the hard-cover book was pretty good reading already. This bloke is so random. Here's a sampling (just from the jacket!)

"The almanac that contains no weather information and, once placed on your shelf, will secretly replace all the neighboring books with its own text"

What?!
And…

"I say 'good evening', though of course I don't know what time it is where you are. This is one of the defining sorrows of books; that we cannot see one another.
Of course it might have been different had my Publisher inserted the camera I designed to fit snugly in the spine of this book and spy on you. But this was determined to be 'too expensive' and 'too illegal' and so we are left once again to our imagination."

What the heck?
And…

"Our best wishes to you for bringing more laughter into the world." – peter H. Gilmore, High Priest, Church of Satan

Yikes!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the complete randomness that this tome will assuredly bring.

I will keep you posted.
