A Free Book From Scott Adams

We all know who Scott Adams is, don't we? In case you've been hiding deep in Nepal's mountains as of late, or you have two cobs of corn between your ears, Scott Adams is the brilliant creator of the smash comic, Dilbert. If you've never heard of Dilbert, you're obviously devoid of any common knowledge critical to survival these days, and if that's the case, go throw yourself under a bus.

For the rest of us who haven't been to Nepal. Who don't have to run for our lives during the annual corn bust lest we be mercilessly beaten by old ladies for our scrumptious heads. And, who are not about to be hit by a bus, Scott Adams released a new book, and it's cheap as FREE!

Perhaps you've read some of Scott's other books and been very entertained. Scott's writing has a certain quality to it; it lacks the formality that would make an English professor proud, it's more "fun". This is a good thing, because English professors usually have hair growing out of their ears, and I've never been able to trust the tastes of people who have hairy ear canals. Not wanting hairy ears of my own, I keep a safe distance from any 'proper' literature and try to only read about topics that are more fun. In my case, Scott Adams is actually the author of my favorite book, "The Joy of Work".

If you're a sadistic doubting Thomas, don't take the title "The Joy of Work" too literally. The truth is, work is the pits (except any 'work' that involves detonating things) but Scott Adams shows easy ways to make it fun, making him a grade A certified genius. In a way, he's kind of like the new Karl Marx; his ideas attack the cruelty and monotony of careers in our capitalist world. Unlike Marx though, Scott Adams chooses to wage war with his revolutionary ideas to help people have fun at work. This may sound less exciting then hordes of disgruntled low class workers throwing their pitch-forks through the heads of the bourgeoisie, but it saves us from having a bunch of disemboweled rich people around our cities.

Anyway, enough about Scott Adam's previous works, let's talk about the free stuff. Scott's new book entitled "God's Debris" is being released free of charge in an electronic version. I haven't read it yet, but judging from the title and the fact that he wrote it, I know I'll love it.

I should say though, I don't know what "God's Debris" means. I predict that 'God's Debris' is either a metaphor for the human race, or, the book is about Earth's final struggle to defend itself against an intergalactic piece of feces 10,000,000 miles in diameter bent on destroying the human race. Or maybe it's both, or some other combination. Whatever, it'll be good.

So, what are you waiting for? Download the book!
