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. 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!!!

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

    18. Gravatar

      Very cool…very cool. Can I get it up in Canada in May 2006? Looking forward to 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!!

    20. Gravatar

      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.

    21. Gravatar

      Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah yeah. I’m likin’ the title and cover very, very much. Rest well, Pauly.

      Oh, and Happy Blog Day!!

    22. Gravatar

      KICK-ASS.

      Are you Lincoln’s body double?

    23. Gravatar

      i better be in the acknowlements, diddy, or ill punch you in the face.

      i mean it.

    24. Gravatar

      heather, did he tell you that you were responsible for the title as well?! paul, you’re so gonna get your ass BEAT.

      but seriously, how fucking PERFECT is that TITLE, people?!

      FUCK!

    25. Gravatar

      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.

    26. Gravatar

      The book is actually a square size instead of rectangular. The shape on the cover image is almost exact.

    27. Gravatar

      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.

    28. Gravatar

      Will there be an audiobook version with celebrity impersonators doing the reading??? Hell, you could spin off a CD just with the Jesus auditions.

    29. Gravatar

      All I can reveal to you, Darrel, is that your idea is both original and possibly already in the works.

    30. Gravatar

      Congratulatios, Pauly. This is a subject matter that you are uniquely talented enough to pull off. Looking forward to it.

    31. Gravatar

      WooHoo! Top of my summer reading list…….
