Joe Queenan wants no more gift books from biblio-fobs:
...I took the gift home and put it on a shelf alongside all the other books that friends have lent or given me over the years. This collection includes: Loose Balls: The Short, Wild Life of the American Basketball Association; Hoosier Home Remedies; A Walk Through Wales; The Frontier World of Doc Holliday; Elwood's Blues: Interviews with the Blues Legends & Stars, by Dan Aykroyd and Ben Manilla; both Steve Allen on the Bible, Religion, and Morality and Allen's somewhat less Jesuitical Hi-Ho, Steverino!; and, of course, Bloodline of the Holy Grail: The Hidden Lineage of Jesus Revealed. If I live to be 1,000 years old, I am not going to read any of these books. Especially the one about the American Basketball Association.
