I'd be the first to comment on a book I hadn't even actually read yet, is what!

I keep googling it. I've been wanting to buy it for about 2 years now but keep running out of book money (I'm a little bad) But look: it's got about the world's best title. And it has a forward by Anne Lamott, how cool and irresistable is that? Because that's enough reason to buy the book right there. And another reason is because I wish I had written it. Do you think I could use the same title, and get Anne Lamott to write another forward?

I will even rate this book. I give it a "4," not because it's not fully worth a "5" but because maybe giving it a 5 at this point would be getting just a little ahead of myself. I would give it a 4.5, if Powell Books even gave me that option, but it doesn't. But please, buy this book from Powells.com yourself and then YOU can give it a five, and that will pull the average up to where it belongs. (also, please note that I DID follow Powells.com's rules about not giving away any surprises..) And if I do win a prize for being the first to comment, could it be a copy of this actual book, please?
