If you haven’t bought the Age of Conversation yet, you are not allowed to participate in this new era of media and marketing. And if you don’t buy it on March 29, you’ll lose three of your kidneys, global warming will swallow up England (but not Scotland), and someone you love, who won’t be named here, will lose on an easy word in an upcoming spelling bee. I can assure you there’s no greater humiliation. At least I lost on diphtheria. That was twenty years ago and I haven’t gotten over it, so just imagine how they’ll feel when they lose on something like, oh, “conversation.”
Right, right, back to that… you see this Age of Conversation, best book of 2007 according to the 100 or so folks who contributed to it, is now available through all your favorite online retail distributors (more or less). And Drew McLellan reminds us, “Remember, not only do you get a copy of a great book, but the children of Variety’s LifeLine literally get the gift of life.” Come on, what more motivation do you need?
On Saturday, March 29th, join the rush and get your copy (millions of copies) of the Age of Conversation. You can find more ways to take part courtesy of Drew, via Chris Wilson. If you need other reasons to take part, check the list of contributors in the extended entry.
