All right then. If you are just tuning in, you can read about the contest in the post just following this one.
The challenge was to come up with titles for the list "Bestsellers For People With Low Expectations."
There were many, many good entries, but there can only be one winner. Well, one winner of the fours books, the two other finalists will each get a copy of my book. Talk about low expectations!
In the end, there was one that just seemed the saddest, and therefore the funniest. The one about someone who didn't even have the energy to, you know, die.

Men are from Mars, and women are from Mars also, but a part of Mars where the culture is slightly different, but it´s not so much of a barrier that they can´t communicate, it´s just difficult sometimes (unabridged version)

Blind Item: Which Awesome Commenter Will Write A Comment That Wins Them Four Awesome Books?
Hi. It's Friday. You're dying to leave work. You resent your boss. You despise your co-workers. What could possibly cheer you up?
Free stuff.
Whether we're winning it in a game show or stealing it from Native Americans, getting stuff for free is a proud U.S. tradition.
But Wendy, is there a catch? Of course there is! You don't just get free stuff. You have to WIN free stuff.
Below is a list I did a while ago on this blog. Add your own book to the list in the comments, and/or email it to me at Specialtypants@gmail.com.
Whichever one makes me laugh the most will win all four (4) books from the TOW Books imprint, which you can read about and order here:
TOW Books: Funny books for people with good senses of humor.
Individually, those books are:
So You Want To Be President
Really, You've Done Enough
Oh, the Humanity!
Everything Is Wrong With You
I have read these books, and I pronounce them funny.
Again, add yours in the comments, and then copy your comment into an email and send it to me at specialtypants@gmail.com so that I can send you an email if you are the winner. If you are shy, you can also JUST email it to me.
I'll also repost the winning entry on Monday so check back.
Okay, here's the list:
BESTSELLING BOOKS FOR PEOPLE WITH LOW EXPECTATIONS
The Okay Bones
