The latest publishing craze seems to be
Fire And Fury: Inside The Trump White House by Michael Wolff. It is nice to see people reading and, with my publisher's hat on, buying a book, but it's a tad surprising that people need to read a book and spend money to find out that the president is a bit of an idiot (well, he's more an idiot savant. No other confidence man ever charmed himself into The White House). But, if anyone needs a laugh after reading of the horror that a man with little impulse control has access to nuclear weapons, then buy another book this year:
mine. Not only is it less likely to end up moldering in Goodwill stores in a few years (you can check out all the Bush and Obama books there now), but it's a lot cheaper and probably more fun. It just hasn't been on tv nor has the president tweeted about it, though both are welcome developments (I'd send Trump a copy, but
he apparently doesn't read). So, after you read about some fake news, read some fake story, otherwise known as fiction. Even with all the conflict driving the plot, you might find it more relaxing than the real world at the moment. And if Trump ends up causing us to get all dead, then you'll know what to expect from the afterlife, or at least a silly version of it.
