My favorite book?



My favorite book is "A Spy In The Ointment" by Donald E. Westlake.

It's my favorite because it made me want to read books.

It's out of print. I found my paperback copy of it awhile ago. It's in good condition and has the orignal price tag on it. $3.95 I think. I checked ebay and I think some guy bid $25 for a copy.

I like the scene when the FBI approaches the main character of the book who is a small time activist. They say "We like you because you don't tear up notes into little pieces that say screw the FBI and throw them into your trash" so once the feds leave he gets a small piece of paper and writes screw the FBI on it, then tears it into little pieces and then throws it away.
