Moby Dick is the most BORING book I have ever read!

The indefatigable Robin Hemley (pictured on the right), a Brevity contributor and friend, and author of the charming memoir, Do Over!, has opened two new contests on his blog(s), so here’s your chance to win money, or free books, or just have fun.

1. Robin is looking for silly reviews and dumb book blog postings at bookbelches.blogspot.com. Cash prizes!!  The first entry is in, and here’s a preview:

Moby Dick is the most BORING book I have ever read!…. We were given a list of books in English class, and I chose to read this. After a week, I was just in page 103. It was needed the next day, so I panicked and switched books, and bought War and Peace. And I finished that book in 8 hours of straight reading.

2. Also, at Robinhemley.blogspot.com, Robin (aka Mr. Red Bull) is sponsoring a contest to win free copies of Do Over. Simply email him at Robinhemley@gmail.com what you might like to do over in your life. On the same website, well-known authors (and a certain Brevity editor) share Book Tour Disaster stories.

Whew!

Now everyone, back to work.
