Citizen Jim used to think the only thing a book was good for was propping up a bad coffeetable leg, or being thrown down as a substitute for second base. Then he discovered how much money he could make writing reviews for the local paper. Well...now he has a different idea about reading!

	Brad "Big Macho Guy" Watson's startling tell-all about his torrid, two-week affair with the late lead singer of the British rock group Queen while the band toured Mississippi in the summer of 1980. Contains explicit material and shocking photos. Jim has read this book five times, and insists he wants to "study under Watson" in some graduate program for writers! Ha!
	This creepy science fiction sequel to Fannie Flagg's beloved Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café (penned without Flagg's permission; law suits are pending) is a must-read for fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Jules Verne. If you think you'll be disappointed to learn that the "killer" unmasked in the book turns out to be Judy Poovey, an unforgettable character from Tartt's debut novel, The Secret History, don't read Jim's review, because he lets out that "secret."
	Citizen Jim was just nutty over this "revisionist" history text concerning what would have happened if Ronald Reagan had lost the presidential election in 1980. Among the conjecture tossed around: Iran would have converted to Christianity after a non-violent confrontation with the U.S. over the hostages held there; Ronnie and Nancy would have eventually faded back into the political woodwork, thus saving the nation from an eight-year nightmare; and Margaret Thatcher would have been assasinated, saving the UK from the total ruin from which it has yet to recover. Also, peanuts would have remained the nation's favorite snack beyond the Carter administration's tenure.
	The only reason Jim gave this book such a glowing review? Because Chicken Sheets hates it! And Jim loves everything Chicken Sheets hates, especially when she says she hates a book, then can't stop reading it over and over again! That's why!
