  7. "Giving Up The Gun" is without a doubt the best song off that album.

  8. You should crank up The Smith's "How Soon Is Now?" and drink plenty of tequila and stare up at the ceiling in your new office after lying on the floor and think about life. It's a real zen experience, lemme tell you.

  9. Postscript: Your least favorite Beatles song will soon be "Taxman'. Trust me on that one.

  11. Very embarrassed to say that the only ones I know are The Beatles songs (which are ace)! And I'm not that old. At 35, I should know more! Sigh.

  12. hi amanda, this isn't really in response to your music post above :) but I've been following your blog for a while. I like when you write about publishing and your journey to success. I've gotten a lot out of your posts.

    If you are interested, I have a blog over at materurbium.com. I write about how technology is changing how we publish and write. I'd be honored if you'd have a look at some of my articles (I wrote recently about how libraries can survive the google/amazon onslaught). I know you're busy writing so I understand if you have no time.

    Thanks again for the interesting and helpful posts.

  20. Okay...so this is kind of off the subject. But I just wanted to tell you that I've read one of your books (switched) and I liked it. But I absolutely LOVE your blog. I've read just about all of it I think. You're very inspiring- and quirky. And you make me laugh. So thanks for all of those things. :)

  22. Thanks for the list. I am always looking for new songs. Actually many of the ones you have on your MBA playists were added to mine. I really like Foster the People, but there are so many others.

    Another subject, I am fairly new to the site. I've read all your books (Love them) except Letters to Elise and the Zombie series. What is Honalee (sp?) going to be about:?
