"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." - H.D. Thoreau

Forthcoming: A BoomThwackBoom Exclusive

Good news, dear readers. Through back channels, we have been able to gain a reviewer's copy of the second-most anticipated book of the literary year. (The concluding volume of J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series being the obvious number one on such a list.)

Though the book doesn't hit shelves until October, we're stoked to have an advance galley of Alice Sebold's followup to the mesmerizing bestseller "The Lovely Bones." ("The Lovely Bones" was on the New York Times Bestseller List for over a year, and it is currently being made into a movie by little-known Australian filmmaker Peter Jackson, who might be best known for an art-house trilogy called "Lord of the Rings." )

The title of Sebold's latest is "The Almost Moon," and it will be reviewed here shortly.

We may not be the second coming of Michiko Kakutani, but hopefully, we'll be able to relay some interesting information about the book
