giveaway: friends like these

Let's start September off with the chance to win Friends Like These by Danny Wallace from Hachette. There will be five winners.

Here's the publisher description:
"Danny Wallace has friends. He has a wife and goes to brunch, and his new house has a couch with throw pillows. But as he nears 30, he can't help wondering about his best childhood friends, whose names he finds in a long-forgotten address book. Where
are they now-and where, really, is he?

Acting on an impulse we've all had at least once, he travels from London to Berlin, Tokyo, Australia, and California, risking rejection and ridicule to show up on his old pals' doorsteps. Memories of his 1980s childhood-from Michael Jackson to Ghostbusters-overwhelm him as he meets former buddies who have blossomed into rappers and ninjas, time-traveling pioneers, mediocre restaurant managers, and even Fijian royalty.

Danny's attempt to re-befriend them all gives remarkable new resonance to the age-old mantra, 'friends forever!'"

The rules: Enter by leaving a comment to this post with your email (if I can't contact you, you can't win).

The deadline to enter is 11:59pm Pacific on September 19. Winners will be selected at random. Since this is from Hachette the winners must have mailing addresses in the US or Canada; no PO Boxes.

  7. I'm a big fan of Danny Wallace's other books, so I'd love to read this one, too! The one where he starts a "cult" that does good deeds on Fridays is hilarious!
