This Week's Poll

Despite being 32 years of age, Allan refuses to give up the eyebrow piercing he got when he was 24. Is this:
Pathetic?
Awesome?
Years ago, when the cherries were sweeter and the flowers never failed to bloom, Allan Mott whored his talents to create some of the finest disposable popular paperback “nonfiction” the world has ever managed to successfully ignore.

But those days are long past.

Now Allan spends his time trying to craft that perfect first second novel that’ll give him the credibility he pretends not to crave--that is when he isn’t whoring it in the pursuit of the filthy lucre upon which the whole concept of “whoring” is based. In his spare time he works on this blog, which is devoted to his obsessive love of everything that truly doesn’t matter in this world. 

 
He calls it THE HOUSE OF GLIB
Enjoy.
