you know you're a book whore when…

  • you find yourself gawking at what hollywood believes like a commuter fixates on a car wreck.
  • you torture your co-workers with innumerable questions related (do you know what tom cruise believes? do you know what sammy davis jr. did with Jesus Christ? Did I tell you what jack nicholson believes?) to the aforementioned book.
  • everyone you are remotely connected to, from african seminarians to spanish speaking pastors, ask you to utilize your discount on their behalf.
  • you get excited about cross promoting product on christianitytoday.com.
  • you are ordered to develop a plan for marketing the way of the master on your site.

obviously my hypocrisy knows no bounds.

james,

i find it ironic that last week my boss forbade me to interview comfort about what hollywood believes, lest i sprinkle the questions with the wrong kind of salt, yet this week another higher up has entrusted me to market the way of the master to all of our pious little consumers. hopefully i'll be able to locate my hidden stash of restraint...lest i blight our latest tiger beat star cum evangelist's image.

on a more serious note, thank you for writing about your relationship with your brother. that post was one of the most insightful reflections on family dynamics that i have read in a while. keep 'opening veins' james. we're all the better for it.

i prefer to call myself 'the gimp,' but don't disagree with the sentiment.
