    Hey, happy Sunday. Question, what do you consider the most popular genre in the book market today? How long to you think this genre last?

    I'm still reading a novel titled "An Eye for a Deadly Eye" by John A. Wooden. It's a heavy thriller involving the FBI on the defensive. Can you imagine the FBI being on defensive? Must have been in the Hoover era. In his novel, John is on the agents' side.

    Books are hard to get noticed is so very true. Now you have me thinking about Chris's book from a different perspective-- encompassing his life from childhood to a successful financier. Thank you. Time to start the summer campaign, huh?

    Masked E, glad to be among your reading friends and your publishing company. Question, can a book be over-advertised? I was going to purchase Chris Gardner's book, Happyness, but I really heard so much on TV and the movie promos that I felt I knew enough.

    I believe NPR did a short version of Jones's first novel a couple of years ago. BTY, I loved his book cover. Expensive! I haven't read his novel yet.
