You can count me in again. Thanks for setting this up, I always enjoy doing both the giving and receiving of TBB Secret Santa. Please no poetry, but otherwise I'm good with whatever you think is interesting. Here's my Goodreads with everything I've read.

I got my two books this week. It was a fun time! I originally posted this, and got these responses:The Grey posted:Please no poetry, but otherwise I'm good with whatever you think is interesting. Of course what did I get? I expect nothing less from Something Awful!  quote:Writing very bad poetry requires talent. It helps to have a wooden ear for words, a penchant for sinking into a mire of sentimentality, and an enviable confidence that allows one to write despite absolutely appalling incompetence. I read through a few of the poems already... Yes, they are very bad. (Although I probably wouldn't recognize good poetry either.) My wife orders about a zillion things off Amazon and constantly has packages arriving every day. She ripped open this one by default thinking it was for her, and then got confused when she saw the poetry book. She looked again at the label and noticed it was for me. She asked me about it the next day. After I explained it was from Something Awful, she was relieved and said she hoped I wasn't buying a book of poetry as her Christmas present. (That gave me the idea to regift this book to her at Christmas though.) The other book is one I have on my wanted list, FantasticLand. It's about an amusement park in Florida that gets hit by a hurricane, isolated from society, and turns into a Lord of the Flies type scenario. I enjoy stories about dystopian amusement parks, and this looks great. Thanks Santa for the fun books!

They mentioned Gronkrotica in that awful 80 to Brady movie trailer. I thought it was just a joke for the movie. It's disturbing to learn it actually exists.

Chip McFuck posted:You're welcome! I waffled a bit on whether or not to send you the Gronk book, but I just couldn't resist so please consider it a gag gift. Hopefully you won't hold it against me, lol. Hope you enjoy them. The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet is one of my favorite books. Also, Scribbles looks just like my old cat Loki!
