James Tadd Adcox has a new book coming out, It's called The Map of the System of Human Knowledge and he wants to read it to you. Literally. You. Personally. I would take him up on this offer. I have heard him read pieces from it. Not only is his North Carolina accent subtly pleasing, but the stories are good. (Tadd, do people really call toilets "commodes" in NC?)
Below are the details, stolen here from his blog. You can find out more about the book/buy the damn thing here.

Tadd's spiel:
Monday through Friday next week, I will read you a story if you contact me through Gmail or Skype. The story will be from my first book, The Map of the System of Human Knowledge, which came out this week from Tiny Hardcore Press. I will be at my computer working from 10 am to 6 pm, Chicago time, so that’s the best time to contact me, if you want me to read to you.
All of the stories are fairly short, between 1 and 5 minutes maybe.
This is a good thing to do if you are wondering whether you would like the stories in this book, or also if you just want someone to read to you for 1 to 5 minutes.
My Gmail address is jamestaddadcox AT gmail DOT com. My Skype name is jamestaddadcox.
I am excited about this.
