Updatery: Books Goin' Like Hotcakes

We have currently placed 977 copies of Saltation. That means there are only 223 still lookin' for a home. The PayPal button is still active. When we hit 1,200 books placed, we will take the payment button down.

In other news, have you ever noticed how some love songs are Positively Creepy? Yesterday, for the first time in a long, long time, I heard Bob Seger's You'll Accompany Me; I'm telling you, it gave me the willies. And not in a good way. Which is what comes of listening to the lyrics.

And, yanno -- I don't know what Charon does with the money. It never occurred to me to wonder. I mean, he must have expenses, right? Rope? Poles? Lunch?

...going to go read, now...

Absolutely yes on the creepy song lyrics! I'm not familiar with the one you cite, but there are plenty of other "love" songs out there that are needy and obsessive, at the least. I don't imagine the lyricists meant them to be creepy...but they sure can sound that way.

And some things get misread as love songs, that were never intended as such--I remember hearing an interview with Sting back in the 80s, in which he said he really found it disturbing that so many people seemed to think "Every Breath You Take" was romantic.
