I hate to depress him, but he just thinks he wants readers calling him out.
That mistake made him look like a third rate hack that doesn't even know how to Google.
Hey Gregg, most readers call that someone not to give their hard earned money to.
A good editor and a cover designer would help him immensely.

Hunh? I don't recall seeing anything about him saying that he "hoped" that his readers would "call him out" on the Monk error. I don't even remember any discussion about the monk thing.
BUT, that being said, any idea in that direction is too clever by half--by which I mean, it's
not. No reader thinks it's amusing for a writer to "give them" an error, so that they can behave like performing monkeys expected to do a trick for a peanut. That's ridiculous. And you're right, Cin; those of us who read have little patience with that type of errata. Just because the book is supposed to be an over-the-top Dark Comedy doesn't mean that it can get away with mistakes disguised (excused) as Easter Eggs.
