Scrambled, out-of-order version of The Cactus Eaters appears in book store
I just heard from a reader who said she purchased a hard-copy version of The Cactus Eaters that begins on page 361. I am assuming that one of two things took place. 1. Your book contains a printing error, which means it is a rarity, which means you can try to sell it online for $$$$, or 2. HarperCollins has printed a scrambled-up, surreal, non-linear version of the book to attract a more experimental demographic. I'm making inquiries and will try to get to the bottom of this soon. And keep those cards and letters coming. (by the way, I'm not making this up.)

Speaking of out-of-order versions, I like the idea of a "choose your own adventure" version of the book. You could imagine, at the end of a chapter: "If you choose to dump half your water, turn to page 234. If you choose to run away from the creepy guys, turn to page 161..." etc.

Bill -- I like this idea a lot. It implicates the reader in a way that would take a lot of pressure off me.
