It could make a million for you overnight.  
If you must return it, you can send it here  
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer.

Book I read

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do.  
Two can be as bad as one, it’s the loneliest number since the number one,  
and one is the loneliest, one is the loneliest, one is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do.
