"They're not talking to me," Myx said.

"The other books?"

"Yeah--they must be jealous, because they're giving me the cold shoulder."

"At least that's the only kind of cold you're getting, Myx."

"They at least could be courteous."

"Maybe it's because you're a newcomer and it takes a while for some acceptance," I said. A little reasoning, even if based on fantasy and false logic, goes a long way with Myx.

"Dave--we're in the 'New Book' section. Look at all those 14-day stickers on ... errr ... they're not gonna plaster me with those things are they?"

"Isn't that the Ides of March? Et tu, Booklist?" Myx said with a dramatic flair.

"It'll be a great review." I sounded as confident as my experience with feedback permitted. Every single person who read MIRACLE MYX so far had loved it.

"These books still aren't chatting."

"Myx--books don't talk," I said.

"Huh?"
