A confirmação de pedido mais bonitinha que eu já vi

Hello Alexandre,

(Your book(s) asked to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?)

Holy canasta! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over 2 million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Mishawaka, Indiana already - the friendly people, the Hummer plant, the Linebacker Lounge - so many memories. I don't have much time to say goodbye to everyone, but it's time to see the world!

I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen)and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am?

I know the trip to meet you will be long and fraught with peril, but after the close calls I've had, I'm ready for anything (besides, some of my best friends are suspense novels). Just five months ago, I thought I was a goner. My owner was moving and couldn't take me with her. I was sure I was landfill bait until I ended up in a Better World Books book drive bin. Thanks to your socially conscious book shopping, I've found a new home. Even better, your book buying dollars are helping kids read from Brazil to Botswana.

But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things:



You chose International shipping.

We shipped it via Brokers Worldwide who will then hand it off to your local postal service. Delivery time for shipments is usually 7-14 business days, but some may take a bit longer depending on destination.



If you have any questions or concerns, please email my friends in Customer Care at help@betterworld.com. If you could please include your order number, that would be very helpful.

Eagerly awaiting our meeting,

The Town and the City
Killing Yourself to Live: 85% of a True Story
Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs: A Low Culture Manifesto

The Replacements: All Over But the Shouting: An Oral History

Why mumblecore didn´t get famous?



This is an honest question.

And why nothing else gets famous, like grunge did, or britpop?
Actually I can´t tell something(or someone) is famous unless my mother knows it, I don´t watch much television nor listen to the radio, so when my mom says "it´s a shame she´s a drug addict, she sings so well" about Amy Winehouse, I know she´s famous

In my teenage years mainstream was cooler than now.

It was Woody Allen who said we should be thankful for being miserable, for him there´s two kinds of people, the horrible, who are the ones with disabilities and functional problems and there´s the rest, the miserable,which I belong.
The thing is sometimes we just want to complain about life, sometimes we are in a bad wave and we don´t care if there´s someone more screwed than you. A friend said to me today "you´re in a bad mood", but that´s not true I´m not in a bad mood, I´m in a worst state of mind, I´m in an evil mood

OK, that´s me complaining.

PS-I love the movie ending
