The 32-year-old University of Illinois graduate is making a number of appearances in support of the book, including a signing at Waldenbooks, Cross County Mall in Mattoon, at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Sorry, mom, I'm skipping your birthday. We're going to Mattoon!

I learned last night that Will remembers little things like the _ in your screen name when signing the book. I also learned that I was possibly the only one in the audience who had already read the book. And I also learned that reading Will's part is hard to do at a realistically fast pace in front of a live studio audience.

From the attached article. A quote from Mr. Leitch:

A movie version of GSTF? Starring Dave Foley as Will Leitch?
