Guess What Novel This Came From - [I know]
From one of my favorite novels, one that I recommend with some reservations.
Lucky winner gets either a hearty handclasp or a hand in the mail. |

Sorry.
But I'm a HUGE fan of DeLillo. |

Actually, to correct something in post #1: I recommend this book with MANY reservations, rather than 'some' as originally written.

King doesn't do outlines. He claims he can tell the difference if a book was written to an outline. It feels "staler."
And this was probably written before an author would create the outline on a computer. Last edited by BenG; 08-25-2017 at 05:36 PM. |

So who's hand in the mail will the winner get? Will it be a left or right hand? Will you be packing it in formaldehyde so it doesn't rot in the mail? Will it be male or female? Will you be cutting off the hand yourself?
