“You know, I wish I could do something with this $2.99 and my e-reader.” – millions and millions of Americans.
Well, now you can. 236 POUNDS OF CLASS VICE PRESIDENT is on sale for a limited time for a measly $2.99 for your Kindle, Nook, iTunes, GooglePlay, and Kobo. The book is a about a kid (me) growing from a fat, awkward child into a fat, awkward teen, and covers all the insecurities that we all faced in high school. (Unless you were one of those super cool guys or girls who had lots of friends and threw the coolest parties and got laid a lot in high school. If so, I would actually rather you not read this book, and also please go fuck yourself.) The point is, this is top quality, super moving stuff over here. For $2.99!
(Bonus: there are pictures of me as a teen in a cape in the book, which are probably worth at least a buck, buck-fifty on their own.)
Kirkus Reviews said of 236, “Mulgrew returns to his formative years at an exclusive prep school for bright boys and finds a ton of absurdist comedy gold to mine” and “Relentlessly self-deprecating yet unabashedly accepting, the author displays a palpable sense of humanity.” A “palpable sense of humanity”? I don’t even know what that means, but it sounds pretty nice, right?

Two good looking Kindle deals today:
#YA LIT: My Name Is Not Easy by Debby Dahl Edwardson (2011)
Luke knows his I’nupiaq name is full of sounds white people can’t say. He knows he’ll have to leave it behind when he and his brothers are sent to boarding school hundreds of miles from their Arctic village. At Sacred Heart School things are different. Instead of family, there are students - Eskimo, Indian, White - who line up on different sides of the cafeteria like there’s some kind of war going on. And instead of comforting words like tutu and maktak, there’s English. Speaking I’nupiaq - or any native language - is forbidden. And Father Mullen, whose fury is like a force of nature, is ready to slap down those who disobey. Luke struggles to survive at Sacred Heart. But he’s not the only one. There’s smart-aleck Amiq, a daring leader - if he doesn’t self destruct; Chickie, blond and freckled, a different kind of outsider; and small quiet Junior, noticing everything and writing it all down. Each has their own story to tell. But once their separate stories come together, things at Sacred Heart School - and in the wider world - will never be the same. (Goodreads)
#LIT: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (1998)
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it — from garden seeds to Scripture — is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more. (Goodreads)
Available for $1.99 each through the end of January 7th, 2013.

“Maybe if I held her arm and corrected my posture she would see that we were in this together: this town, these stale life-lorn lives. But she would have shoved me off. I was her shame in my too-short pants. Fair enough. This was her world, not mine. She tried to follow its rules, she failed: my existence underscored her failure.”
