1. THE LAST MARTIN Top 10

The top ten reasons THE LAST MARTIN should be the very next book you read:

10. It may well be the strangest book you'll read, which makes it perfect for April Fool's Day. (If you cannot remember your last belly laugh, the book is especially important medicine.)

9. No radiation leaks have been detected from any portion of the book.

8. You get two stories in one, making it a virtual lock that you'll love at least one of them.

7. If every person in Libya set down their guns and simultaneously read this book cover to cover, for three hours there would be no reason for a no-fly zone. Must be powerful stuff, eh?

6. Oprah did not pick it as a book pick. Though she did pick a book by Jonathan Franzen, and that's really close to Jonathan Friesen. (Okay, yeah, I'm still miffed about the overlook.)

5. You know you are a little obsessive--Martin will make you feel a whole lot better about yourself!

4. The book weighs 16 oz, none of which are fluid ounces, so it's perfectly safe to take aboard airplane flights.

3. The cover jacket is printed to create a 3-D effect, giving you something to look at with those cheap 3-D glasses you have lying around in your junk drawer.

2. Uncle Landis and the deer story. One-third the way in. Priceless. 

1. You'll close the book feeling grateful and with a smile on your face.

There you are!! Enjoy!
