Dear wonderful,

	Has any book changed your life for the better?

Dear Easy Reader,

	Obviously, like most chemically-enhanced poet-philosophers who wield a
mighty pen of electrum lightning with a mighty science godhand, Mister
Wonderful was profoundly influenced by "There's a Monster at the End of
this Book" starring lovable furry old Grover.

	At the very least, it taught me the difference between a hook and a tease.

	But for a book that *inestimably* bettered the life of Wonderful, and
earlier than just last week, well...

	Some years ago, I was in the public library of a small New England town
looking for some evidence that my ancestor Josiah Wonderful hadn't
actually allowed the Shoggoth to possess him, so much as borrow his
smoking jacket for the weekend. Quite by accident I found myself reading
a terrifying account of Benjamin Franklin's attempts to pitch woo at
Betsy "Grammy Jammy" Ross.  It was at the moment I read the words,
"Poore Richard needs a little helpe, here" that I realized a gilt-spined
book had spontaneously fallen from a high shelf not three yards from my
reading chair.  The auburn-haired lady librarian who ran the place bent
over to pick up the tome, and *as she did* her loose plaid skirt rose up
the back of her legs, revealing inch by fascinating inch of long black
stocking seam, until at last there appeared the tiniest hint of ivory
clasp, heralding the presence of an elegant garter belt.

	I tell you, sir, that book I never read led to an improvement in my
life so profound that I still walk funny when it gets quiet.

Mister Wonderful Recommends: "There's a Monster at the End of this Book"
starring lovable furry old Grover.  Seriously.  The best post-modern
novel you will ever encounter.  Grover is all of us.  We are all Grover.
 Here is truth.  Put sticks on your arms, deliver the soup, you are the
super, super, yes, Grover.
