Books Dan Savage Saved My Life
posted by on April 21 at 18:14 PM
Today Savage came by and dumped a giant tower of books on my desk. We get a lot of books in the mail here at The Stranger, and sometimes they’re just addressed to just “Editor,” instead of “Books Editor” or to me personally, and those mislabeled books will frequently wind up in a box waiting weeks—sometimes months—for Dan to redirect them to me.
In the pile that Dan dropped off today was this book:
This is, of course, the book whose reading ended in a shooting a couple weeks ago in Tukwila. Inside was an invitation to the fatal reading. Which means that Dan’s disorganization could well have saved my life. Thanks, Dan. Maybe one day I’ll take a bullet for you.
Thanks Dan for saving Paul's life, we'd all miss his lunch date posts.
Paul, free books? That's hot and I'm jealous.
bullet ... wink wink.
Dan actually came into the office? Wow, you are truly blessed.
The shots were fired after the reading at the reception. I work with the cousin of the victim who took a bullet. As of last week, he was still in the hospital.
I have been training for just that type of life-saving endeavor my entire life. and my mom said that nothing good would come of being messy and disorganized.
But how's the book?
