520    "From the beloved author of Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend
       comes a wonderful new novel about a struggling man, 
       written entirely in lists. Daniel Mayrock's life is at a 
       crossroads. He knows the following to be true: 1. He loves
       his wife Jill... more than anything. 2. He only regrets 
       quitting his job and opening a bookshop a little (maybe 
       more than a little) 3. Jill is ready to have a baby. 4. 
       The bookshop isn't doing well. Financial crisis is 
       imminent. Dan doesn't know how to fix it. 5. Dan hasn't 
       told Jill about their financial trouble. 6. Then Jill gets
       pregnant. This heartfelt story is about the lengths one 
       man will go to and the risks he will take to save his 
       family. But Dan doesn't just want to save his failing 
       bookstore and his family's finances: 1. Dan wants to do 
       something special. 2. He's a man who is tired of feeling 
       ordinary. 3. He's sick of feeling like a failure. 4. He 
       doesn't want to live in the shadow of his wife's deceased 
       first husband. Dan is also an obsessive list maker; his 
       story unfolds entirely in his lists, which are brimming 
       with Dan's hilarious sense of humor, unique world-view, 
       and deeply personal thoughts. When read in full, his lists
       paint a picture of a man struggling to be a man, a man who
       has reached a point where he's willing to do anything for 
       the love (and soon-to-be new love) of his life"--
