[...] while I can’t fully endorse everything Brad says in the book– or in this interview at litpark– still, as a human, I was deeply moved. And as a writer I definitely enjoyed the following [...]

Damn. I'm always too little too late. For what it's worth I just want to thank Brad and Susan for being cool covert superspies. I interviewed Brad for my blog. Oh, and I reviewed his book. Check it out. It's sexy. He's sexy. Litpark.com is super sexy. Buy Brad's book.

Lance – I agree, Brad is always a pleasure. And a rascal.

Jessica – Hee. I was wondering who’d be the first to do that?

The princess diaries – I agree!

Gail – I think that’s probably how most of us pick our favorite authors – when they share our world view but articulate it better.

Marcy – I’m rooting for both paperbacks to sell well!

Ronlyn – And to you, too. I saw your book face-out in the airport a few weeks ago!

Kelly – Welcome!

Carina – Come back with a link to your article when it’s done.

Greg – I’ve missed you! I hope you’re busy writing something good.

CD – Amen to that. We just keep at it. (Though, when people tell me “Keep at it,” I want to bite them.)

Rebecca – Thanks for stopping by.

Kaytie – Good point about risks. They say if you keep doing things the same way, you’ll get the same results.

Pia – Nicely said about not hiding. And the sweet face.

Robin – Ha ha! You could open a story with the goggles and inner tube.

Claire – The cover of your ARC is terrific!

Katie – Welcome to LitPark!

Aurelio – Back to your novel!

emily – Thanks for being here!

Trisha – Can’t wait to read the reviews.

Jordan – That forum is a circus. I love it!

Kerri – What a sweet thing to say. And glad he gave you that spark to keep writing.

Nanos – Ha! Great points!

Jen – Glad you’re here!

PD – I agree, and it’s good to see you again. You disappeared.

Sorry to be unoriginal, but I’d also like to add my voice to the chorus of praise here and say what a great interview! And how refreshing to read an author who is so honest about life & luck. Cheers Brad

Great interview. I am a big believer in Luck. And Karma. But thats just me.

Can’t get enough of the ADD blog. It’s often the highpoint of my day.

Listi makes some good points:

Luck is sparratic and unknowing.

People do take things for granted that actually make them lucky.

Hard drugs do help take the bitterness away.

Fantastic.

Brad’s truly my favorite person that I’ve never actually met.

Thank God I started reading his stuff, or else I may not have started writing again… at least for a long time.

ROBIN: Many thanks, and nice goggles.

CLAIRE: Thanks for tuning in.

KATIE: I love you, too.

AURELIO: That’s a great line about dumb luck providing opportunities…etc. I may have to steal that one. ;)

EMILY: Oprah does a lot of good in the world, undoubtedly. But sometimes I do wonder if she has a vicious God complex.

TRISHA: Thanks again for such a lovely review! Naturally I agree with every word of it. ;)

JORDAN: The comment board at The A.D.D. Blog is complete and utter anarchy; thank you for your notable contributions.

In general, I just think Listi is a smart guy. He has his shit together, works hard to get what he wants..etc.
Plus, his readers at the ADD blog are proof that luck exists. We all found a public forum, which allows us to joke and express ourselves in quirky and usually hilarious ways. New “inside” jokes develop daily, we constantly harass each other. Though I’m pretty new to it, I find myself increasingly drawn into the whole thing.

As far as Attention.Deficit.Disorder. goes, it’s a very well written novel. Listi’s charisma and humor definitely shines through, even when dealing with such serious topics. I recommend it to all who are open-minded enough to embrace it.
