An excerpt from chapter 25:



"This one time, the agent asked me where i saw myself in five years. Dead, I said. I see myself dead and rotting. Or ashes, I can see myself burned to ashes. I remember i had a loaded gun in my pocket. Just the two of us were standing in the back of a crowded, dark auditorium.

'I see myself dead and in hell.'

I remember i was planning to kill myself that night. It was the night of my first big public appearance. I told the agent, I figured i'd spend my first thousand years in hell in some entry-level position, but after that I wanted to move into management. Be a real team player. hell is going to see enormous growth in market share over the next millenium, and I wanted to ride the crest.

The agent said that sounded pretty realistic."



Fans of this book prefer it even to [[Fight Club]].
