    I requested it that it be ordered by my library system. It’s top flight poetry and anyone who doesn’t check it out and keep it overdue is crazy.

      Just so you know, Soldiers Grove Library has a copy on hand.

      I’ll let you know if it’s checked out.

    I shall do the same. I am paid to shelve the books at my local library and I will use whatever influence comes with that to make sure a copy is purchased. Hey, if I could get them to buy Zmirak’s the Grand Inquisitor…who knows?

      Nice work, Paul. I think Zmirak’s work would work nicely as a play. One set, the mental hospital, with all the outside events projected onto a screen behind them – maybe animated.

        I’m hoping to land a movie deal for House of Words, too.

          Seems right. I’ll play the limerick.

            I had you dubbed for the role of Brad Pitt in the role of Jonathan Potter.

            Who will play the poem that introduces the MacGuffin? – the MacGuffin being, of course, the word “word/s.”

            It shoud be someone like Petter Sellers who can play a gamut of roles well.

            Matthew, what’s the brother doing these days? I see him playing “You and I” to the hilt – maybe a heavy shot of Harvey Keitel, mellowed a bit with a splash of Tom Hanks – and topped off with a Dom Deluise garnish.

            He do the police in different voices.

            (This is a reply to JOB. Apparently WordPress only lets the replies go four layers deep.)

      Thanks Paul. If it helps, you can tell them the author is a librarian and that they should do right by one of their own.

    Is being a librarian similar to being a Mason?

      Mr. Webb,

      If you notice, there is no occurrence of the number “33” in the Dewey Decimal System.

      And Mr. Potter can verify this, I’m sure, but I believe all librarians wear their aprons under their notorious “magic underwear.”

      Then on Guy Fawkes Day, they sacrifice Catholic Virgins, Aztec-style, in the basement of the Library of Congress, too.

      I don’t know what all this adds up to, Mr. Webb, but it does give one pause, doesn’t it?

      JOB
