A year later, and still getting reviewed!

The world of publishing is obviously far different than that of the movies, where reviews are up the first week or so, and that's likely it. But not for books; over a year after being published, Shelf Monkey is still getting reviewed, and it goes without saying, reviewed well. Like I'd promote a bad review.

This week, it's the independent (and fantastic) magazine Broken Pencil. I love the independents, they can get away with so much more...colourful language. I think every book review ought to be laden with obscenities.

From the review by Richard Rosenbaum in issue #39:
The dialogue is thoroughly witty, Thomas' desires and frustrations feel genuine, the style is quite original, and if you've got any sort of literary tastes or preferences at all, the discussions between the characters over which books are treasures and which ones are trash will have you laughing out loud in recognition. Let's put it this way: if you hate the [obscenity deleted for our more sensitive readers] Da Vinci Code, this book is totally for you!
Thanks, Richard! You and your review rock in every conceivable way!
