Not That You Asked
This ones my favorite!
“This collection of essays on everything from Oprah’s Book Club to the joy of being a new father displays all the qualities that have made Almond’s short stories (The Evil B.B. Chow) and nonfiction (Candyfreak) entertaining!”

Heres a little part ot Not That You Asked

“Dear Oprah Winfrey,

I am writing to inform you that I cannot accept your kind offer to name this book as your October, 2007 selection for Oprah’s Book Club™. I realize this letter may come as something of a shock, given my reputation for shameless self-promotion, which I hope precedes me … The truth is, I don’t give a shit how many books you sell. I don’t care how much dough you give away, or how many famous people you make cry. At the end of the day, you’re a TV star. You show up on a tiny screen and give lonely people a place to park their emotions for an hour. You’re the world’s leading retailer of inspiration. You’re the Wal-Mart of Hope.”

And here are his other books!
The Evil B. B. Chow and Other Stories
Candyfreak: A Journey Through the Chocolate Underbelly of America
My Life in Heavy Metal
