Spoiler: He doesn't get eaten.
Was that the sequel to a book, or is there a sequel to that one out? I read the first one (The Sex Lives of the Cannibals?) and liked it.

Too entrepreneurial, possibly even an overachiever...

She's the Horatio Alger of hand releases. Faster than McD's drive thru or you get your $15 back.

I am going to try to put myself on ignore. I think I would self-censor my posts less, and be not so inhibited if I didn't have to read them later.

Same author. I think this book is a book about the time that he spent writing that book. A book about a book. Or something.

But, then... drunk sex ain't bad, and it's pretty much the same, just slower.
Because they are on x/e and couldn't pick the capable from the useless.
