So today is May 30th, and it would be a lot less anticlimactic if not for the Barnes & Noble at the Mall of America, where yesterday, I took this picture.
Yes, that is the famous book. Four of them! At the Barnes & Noble at the Mall of America, the very same place where I have bought books by other people who are not even me. This was a very strange experience. I didn't buy any of them, which means that I'm sure there are still four there.
In the event that you do not personally live within driving distance of the Barnes & Noble at the Mall of America, you can still buy the book at any one of a number of places, and I will tell you that after about six months of seeing all of the stuff about how the book isn't out yet but will be out someday, it is nice to see that it actually was released after all.
For more about the book, me, Evan, and so forth, including excerpts and a quiz and all manner of good stuff, please consult the book's very own site.
I wrote a book. This is an interesting development.
P.S. I have no idea why comments are not working. This is typical MT nonsense, unfortunately. You change nothing, and files mysteriously disappear and stop working. Time to go elsewhere, perhaps.
YAY. Congratulations. Although I'm married, I'm looking forward to reading your BOOK, because I love everything you write, and also, because it looks commonsensical and marvy.

[ link ]I just ordered your book from Amazon.co.uk. It's going to take 14 days to get to me, because presumably it's being shipped from the States. I'm very excited - the preview on the website looked very funny.
And no pressure - I won't sue if I still don't have a boyfriend after reading it.

[ link ]This is really driving me nuts... I saw a web ad for your book yesterday somewhere, but had forgotten that you wrote it (duh) and just thought "That's a funny title." Where was it? Huffington Post? Yahoo News?? Argh.
On a related note, Newsweek ran an article recently on the 20th anniversary of their notorious "you have a better chance of being killed by a terrorist" story on women and their chances of marrying after ages 30, 35, and 40. It's subtitled "Why We Were Wrong."
Which just made me go "snerk" all over again.

[ link ]Congratulations, Linda! To my pleased semi-surprise (because I'd forgotten ordering... this happens to me a lot), my long-pre-ordered copy arrived from Amazon today. I just finished reading the whole thing, and my congratulations go to both authors. Being a (let's say) middle-aged gay man kinda puts me outside the whole boy-girl-dating-issues thing, and yet I saw point after point that I smiled at in recognition. Insightful, sensible, funny (one would expect no less) -- bravo!

[ link ]Congrats, Linda! I plan to pick up a copy this evening, and hope to read it very soon.

[ link ]Congrats on the book! I was just at the Mall of America B&N today, but I hadn't read your post so I had no idea the book was even out!
I filled out a book purchase suggestion form at the Minneapolis Public Library. But, of course I fully intend to purchase it!
