My first scholarly monograph, The Age of Elizabeth in the
Age of Johnson, has rocketed to the 1.6 millionth bestseller (up from
1.8 millionth a few weeks ago) on Amazon.com.
(Stop presses! — now it’s zoomed up to the 1.49 millionth! Take that,
Distributional Ecology and Abundance of Dung and Carrion-Feeding Beetles
(Scarabaeidae) in Tropical Rain Forests in Sarawak, Borneo, still mired at a
pitiful number 1.596 million.) A big movie deal now seems inevitable. Buy it now
and you can say you knew me before I was rich and famous. —Jack Lynch

Thanks for this hilarious post — it was great to see THE Jack Lynch’s personality in this way. [I’ve also used Lynch’s hotlist of resources for literary research (http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Lit/) in my Literary Criticism course — and my own research — for the longest time!]
