Hi all. I have just read the most amazing political novel. It's called The American Beatles, and it's by a kid named Jon Bell at N.C. State. It's about what might happen if the Beatles existed today, in America: but it's also a ruthless and hilarious critique of the modern media and the American right-wing community. It's a damn good book. You can read it online in e-book form at BeatlesNovel.com.

I wrote a totally cool novel too, about a guy named Jon Bell who joins a web forum under the name of "JuliustheGreat" and starts plugging his ebook as soon as he gets there!
It's a laugh riot!

Thank you for joining today to treat us to a hilarious parody of those right-wingers. That sort of stuff goes down reeeeal well at FR!
Say, could I interest you in some herbal Viagra?

Jon Bell has written the greatest Beatles novel in history, and one of the best new books in the world today. If that's the case, little Jonny, why is it self-published on a cheesy website instead instead of getting $8,000,000 advance from Dutton or Simon & Schuster? I mean, it's not as good as Lying Liars and Living History???

ROTFL... I think that plot has been done many, many, many times already - or is it part of a series? Like "The Executioner" or something?

Does John Kerry sing, "Yeah yeah, I'm the Taxman and you're working for nobody but me" in it?
