If I ever end up writing a book, I must make certain that the cover is covered. It must be flashy and flamboyant, chic and catchy, titillating and tasteful, and above all it must capture the potential reader's attention, so that they will grab it off the shelf without reading the inside cover, back of the book, introduction, first page or even the last page, but rather mindlessly bring it to the register, purchase it along with a holographic bookmark, bring it home, place it on a coffee table, where it will sit, untouched, for four to six weeks after which it would be transferred to the book case, milk crate and then put on sale at a garage sale for a quarter where it would be bought by a little old lady for a dime, that will most likely die before she ever gets the chance to read it.

I believe this is the goal of every self-respecting writer. Wouldn't have it any other way.
