edit data

John Box, who enjoys writing about himself in the third person cause it makes him feel written about, burst onto the literary scene in 1997 when he was published in his high school yearbook quoting Eazy-E and sending shouts out to his homies. He followed with his second achievement a year later, when he spray painted the word “vagina” on a middle school dumpster. Since then, he has penned several award winning works including “Anaconda,” “Freddy Got Fingered,” and “King Rear.”

John Box and 3 other people liked Melki's review of Poop for Breakfast: Why Some Animals Eat It: "This is a fun, fascinating, and informative look at why some animals need to eat poop, and why humans don't. This rather gross subject matter is handled with a light, humorous touch, and made cheerier with delightful illustrations by Florence Weiser." Read more of this review »

“I recognized the handwriting, and my heart gave a skip; when I opened it I got a turn, for it began, 'To my beloved Hector,' and I thought, by God she's cheating on me, and has sent me the wrong letter by mistake. But in the second line was a reference to Achilles, and another to Ajax, so I understood she was just addressing me in terms which she accounted fitting for a martial paladin; she knew no better. It was a common custom at that time, in the more romantic females, to see their soldier husbands and sweethearts as Greek heroes, instead of the whore-mongering, drunken clowns most of them were. However, the Greek heroes were probably no better, so it was not far off the mark.”
― George MacDonald Fraser, Flashman
