Cool, Cool Stuff

To help with the First Amendment Project, a nonprofit organization "dedicated to protecting and promoting freedom of information, expression, and petition", sixteen authors are auctioning the chance to have your name in an upcoming book via E-Bay. Frankly, this looks very, very cool.

Authors Offering:
- Stephen King
- John Grisham
- Amy Tan
- Lemony Snicket
- Michael Chabon
- Neil Gaiman
- Dave Eggers
- Nora Roberts
- Dorothy Allison
- Peter Straub
- Jonathan Lethem
- Rick Moody
- Ayelet Waldman
- ZZ Packer
- Andrew Sean Grear
- Karen Joy Fowler

Go, look, gain information! Possibly bid, if you're so inclined when the time comes!

And remember, just because you may not win doesn't mean you can't drive up the price. (Yes, I'm not very nice in auctions sometimes. Make sure you know what your budget is before you decide to hike up the price, just in case you do win.)
