The 2nd Book, Revealed!
August 30th, 2005
What would Jesus blog?
What would Confucius blog? How about Nostradamus? Jim Morrison, Richard Nixon, Captain Kangaroo and Julius Caesar? What would DaVinci have to say? What would 200 of History’s most famous, most well-known historical figures blog about if the technology had been available to them back in the day?
Well, the questions will finally be answered in The Lost Blogs.
Coming May 2006 from Warner Books is the book that is “the historically inaccurate and totally fictitious cyber diaries of everyone worth knowing” — covering figures from the dawn of time all the way up until just a few years ago. If they’re dead and famous, you can probably expect to read what they have to say.
It has been many many months in the making and on the eve of delivering the entire book to my publisher I am proud to finally be able to let you in on the concept, announce the official website (thelostblogs.com) and even give you a glimpse of the absolutely wonderful cover.
Phew. Now can I get some sleep?
Congrats congrats congrats! Love the cover and can only imagine the wonderful, witty things you have in store for us come May 2006. I’m marking my calendar, bay-bee!
PS- an e-mail is coming your way. Things are good, really good.

Congratulations from Canada, P. Diddy (or, I guess just Diddy now).

Congrats. As a descendent of Abey-Baby, I’d like to say with all due respect, re: your cover, that my great-great-great grandfather used bluetooth technology and wore an earpiece, not some crappy Nokia piece of shit!!!

Heh heh. Funny. I hope we get to see different designs for each of those famous important people. And who said blogging doesn’t pay, huh? Congrats!

I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it. I’m about to lose control, and I think I like it.

sure, sure the book looks “funny” and everything, and yeah, the cover is like framable art and shit, but DID YOU READ THE TITLE?!
it’s PERFECT!!
Comment by kristine — August 31, 2005 @ 10:29 am
Just so you know, you’re going to need your own legal advice because I’m filing suit against you. I’m TOTALLY worth knowing and I have my own blog, so any attempt by you to emulate my writing and do it inaccurately is so not cool.
Comment by Keith — August 31, 2005 @ 10:47 am
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah yeah. I’m likin’ the title and cover very, very much. Rest well, Pauly.
Oh, and Happy Blog Day!!

FUCK!
Comment by kristine — August 31, 2005 @ 3:26 pm
good luck with it paul. sure it’ll be high-larious. question: is the book actually in the non-rectangular format that cover image seems to imply? just curious.
Comment by jmorrison — August 31, 2005 @ 3:29 pm
The book is actually a square size instead of rectangular. The shape on the cover image is almost exact.

You are a genius. I can already see it.

Boy, today was a shitty day. Where do I even start?

Pauly, I am so impressed, I can’t even tell you. Great job. Gold stars. Candy bars.
You rule.
Comment by Helena — September 1, 2005 @ 3:15 pm
Will there be an audiobook version with celebrity impersonators doing the reading??? Hell, you could spin off a CD just with the Jesus auditions.
Comment by Darrel — September 1, 2005 @ 9:18 pm
All I can reveal to you, Darrel, is that your idea is both original and possibly already in the works.
Comment by Pauly D — September 1, 2005 @ 9:19 pm
Congratulatios, Pauly. This is a subject matter that you are uniquely talented enough to pull off. Looking forward to it.
