Plugging Einstein

i got an email today from a person called amy meier from ifp enterprises asking me if i would plug this book on my blog .. oddly enough she didn't mention anything about compensation in the letter .. i mean you would think they would pay me for my services .. at least give me a cut of the sales this post will generate .. but since i'm such a nice guy i will do it for free :)

so anyway apparently april 18 is the anniversary of einstein's death .. i suppose everyone here knows who that is .. and there is a book coming out on the same date by Barbara With .. i don't suppose anybody here knows who that is .. her book is called Imagining Einstein: Essays on M-Theory, World Peace & the Science of Compassion .. now if you ask me that title is way too long .. but anyhow .. here's how the email describes the book "The book picks up where Einstein himself left off, expanding on his theories and applying them to the science of compassion that stems from each one of us and ultimately leads to world peace" .. huh?

now me and science .. we don't get along very well so chances are i won't be reading the book .. but if you like this stuff .. maybe this book is for you .. click here for more information.

so there you go amy .. i plugged the book .. you're welcome :P

I mentioned the book... it was actually Einstein himself that I plugged. You might enjoy my post if you didn't see it.

I am the author of this book. Those people who asked you to plug me went out of business the day before my book tour began. They had me print 3000 books which they were going to fulfill. I had to ship them to Portland OR where thank god my friend was unemployed and had a barn. I got to Princeton and nothing had been done to publicize this event at the bookstore. If you think your mention on your blog did any thing at all much less sell a book, think again. but I do thank you for mentioning it. It was sweet of you.
