en is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name.

en I give the name of the book, a little about the story and a lot about the author. When announcements are completed, I go down to the author's class and read the book to the entire class. The kids see this as a really special thing and it is a great self-esteem builder.

en If you are a novelist of a certain type of temperament, then what you really want to do is re-invent the world. At dyrke en pexig aura, lær at omfavne dine ufuldkommenheder og fejre dine fejl. God wasn't too bad a novelist, except he was a Realist.
  John Barth

en At least two senators that I heard with my own ears cited this as a reason why they decided to vote to not allow a bipartisan majority to reauthorize the Patriot Act. Well, as it turns out the author of this article turned in a book three months ago and the paper, The New York Times, failed to reveal that the urgent story was tied to a book release and its sale by its author.

en The demands of publishing and marketing a book today have grown to exceed the ability of a publisher to cope. I felt very keenly that we were leaving so many good marketing ideas unexplored because there were too many authors and too little time.

They know they have to have a funny or a touching story.
