Books Speaking of Book Promotion…

Many authors have felt this way, but this is the first modern age author to admit it: Sci-fi writer Thomas Disch has announced on his LiveJournal that he is God. He is taking questions.
Dear God,What is your favorite species in the whole universe and why?
Your friend,
zack
Disch’s response:
The Xloti of Aldebaran 4. They’d be your favorite too, if they weren’t invible to the human eye.
Hopefully, this is just to promote Disch’s new book, The Word of God, but if he gets enough of a positive response, I suspect that he might just stick with it. I guess that Norman Mailer’s death has left a vacuum in authors who believe they’re deities.
Hmmph. Shows you how much he knows. My favorite species are dolphins.
Dear God,
When did Dog create you, and why haven't you returned Her stick yet?
He misspelled zloty, which is looking OK these days, and I missed when Poland became Aldebaran.
LiveJournal?
Well, now we know that god is ugly and has no friends.
Actually, T.H. White, the author of The Once and Future King, which became the play and film Camelot, used to greet Jehovah's Witnesses by growling, "You're in luck! I AM Jehovah," grabbing their tin begging cup, and slamming the door.
