"The 500" (2012) by Matthew Quirk, Featuring a Don Rockwell Cameo - Now in Paperback

[DonRocks]

"The 500" is an early contender for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, and is a required purchase for every member here.

And look what makes a cameo appearance!

And check THIS out!

When I asked Matthew for permission to reprint the section, he said, "Of course. Please note to your members: that character in no way is meant to represent the average DR reader. Love the site!"

Man, sometimes when I think it's just not worth all the work, something like this happens.

Someone should tell Matt that Five Guys is all over the country, not just the East Coast.

Regardless, though -- very cool!

This is cooler than BBQ Parkouristas.

This is cool, but who do we think is going to play Rockwell in the movie?

If you have a Kindle you can get the first 6 chapters of the book free, to see if you like it.

I was thinking Johnny Depp.

Hi all,

Don suggested I let everyone know that The 500, my political thriller featuring a DonRockwell.com cameo, is out in paperback this week. Some DC dining spots figure as clues early in the novel. Hope you have fun with it!

All the best,

Matthew Quirk

[Toogs]

and I'm finished. What a great read. Get this book!

And it was interesting reading this while the unfathomably stupid bullshit monsanto amendment to the budget resolution went through.
