This noon we went to the Barnes & Noble and looked at their discount books (which can sometimes be rewarding). I saw two ‘treasures’ there that I must cher about.

• 18 more vampirical erotic stories
• A Civil War Popup book

If your mind is as overactive as mine you’ve already had a good time with the given descriptions.

I looked at the first book and I thought, “More?” Did America respond popular to the first eighteen vampirical erotic books? Were American’s looking for that sort of material? I saw Van Helsing, I enjoyed a little vampirical novelty, but adult vampire books? No thanks. I can only imagine what they could do with that sort of ‘food for thought.’

And regarding the civil war popup book. Close your eyes and imagine a grandchild on their grandpa’s lap saying, “Grandpa turn the page, I want to see the guy get his head blown off with the cannonball.” What do we need a popup book of death for? Really. “Mom, can you please read the civil war popup book to me again? I really love to see the flames leap up as Georgia burns.” I vote we not sell silly books like that.
