Book Description
A slightly different look at the world's largest social networking and fifth largest English-speaking portal, filled with literally hundreds of facetious annotations that will leave you snickering, if not rollicking. Seen through Kennedy's penetrating (often merciless) eye, this is a book that will show you another reality- the virtual and the absurd, as offered by the actual members themselves. Is this an exposé? Not quite. This is where you will find a rather large "sample" of those Spacers, who are so eager to find "Mr. Right," fame and fortune, or just their fifteen minutes in the world's limelight, exposing themselves, quite unlike you may have expected. Don't credit the author(s); credit the members themselves for making it all possible...Newcomers, as well as those who've been around MySpace for awhile, will find this snippet of societal arrogance and self-centeredness simply irresistible.

Book Description
Meiselman has had enough. After a life spent playing by the rules, this lonely thirty-six-year-old man—"number two" at a suburban Chicago public library, in charge of events and programs, and in no control whatsoever over his fantasies about his domineering boss—is looking to come out on top, at last. What seems like an ordinary week in 2004 will prove to be a golden opportunity (at least in his mind) to reverse a lifetime of petty humiliations. And no one—not his newly observant wife, not the Holocaust survivor neighbor who regularly disturbs his sleep with her late-night gardening, and certainly not the former-classmate-turned-renowned-author who's returning to the library for a triumphant literary homecoming—will stand in his way. "Meiselman is a triumph of comic escalation." — Sam Lipsyte, author of Hark and The Ask
