The thing is, you never know what will lead to what, so you have to rely on your budget and common sense and leave the rest to Kismet...and yes, always be nice. Which Jeff always is.<br />Good luck with your funny books--we can all use a few laughs!Lucy Burdette aka Roberta Isleibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04660402177299546055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-30308356370453229872009-05-27T17:21:13.581-04:002009-05-27T17:21:13.581-04:00Ah - Horse Feathers AND Duck Soup!

You had to be there...here. We amuse ourselves.<br /><br />Jeff, you are so right that on book tour you have to be NICE to everyone, and it sure would be a kinder gentler, if somewhat less interesting world if everyone was. It's hard to stay nice on tour when you're schlepping yourself around and **fill in the blank** (it's snowing, hailing, raining, hot as hades, or the world series or the presidential debate is running, or ...) and self pity is the emotion de jour. Having said that, I'm so happy when even one person (okay, happier when 10 or 20 do) show up to talk with me about my **fill in blank** (wonderful, provocative, intriguing...) new book.Hallie Ephronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04759439029582054503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-62653265919674698842009-05-27T09:28:10.408-04:002009-05-27T09:28:10.408-04:00I love the way you think.

And yes, it changed my world. It showed me that funny could be aggressive, and unapologetic, and speak the truth. And I was falling off the couch laughing. One of those few times I can say a movie really did change my life.<br /><br />Top 5? Why not just ask me which of my books I like the best?<br /><br />A sample (in no particular order):<br /><br />HORSE FEATHERS<br />YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN<br />DUCK SOUP<br />HOPSCOTCH<br />BRINGING UP BABYJeff Cohenhttp://jeffcohenbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-50747875145525117522009-05-27T07:38:52.301-04:002009-05-27T07:38:52.301-04:00How old were you when you saw it?

They're way too nice to get mad, even at a rude comment like that. One has to know one's audience.<br /><br />Favorite Marx Brothers movie: Horse Feathers.
