Summary: "This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative -- like maybe someone who isn't me wrote it -- but I soon discovered that I'm not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures; Words; Stories about things that happened to me; Stories about things that happened to other people because of me; Eight billion dollars*; Stories about dogs; The secret to eternal happiness*; *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!"--Amazon.com
