Great reading. He is going to be at a conference in Capri this summer and there going to be a total of seven authors. Each one has to pick a deadly sin and write about it. He picked Greed. The piece was about last year, when he was on his way to a reading in Naperville and needed to stop at a cash station. His ATM card kept getting rejected, so he decided, since everybody else does it, he would put up a tip jar at the signing. And then it became a thing. He began evaluating the reading by the total amount of money in the tip jar by the end of the night. By the end of the book tour, he collected $4,000. Hysterical.
It seems he now sign his books with a drawing added on the page. I had two books for him to sign. On the first one, he kept trying to guess my sign. After getting it wrong twice, he gave up and drew a turtle. On the second one, he drew a picture of Jesus Christ with a caption that read, "I died on a cross for you." He also signed my cousin's book. He drew a picture of an owl and wrote, "I like black people." He then proceeded to give us each a card from the Museum of Modern Art that simply said, "stop talking." The guy is insane!
