Congratulations! It's such a great book.

Save a click. The woman is yelling, ”Write about dogs!”

Wow! Congratulations!

The Thurber House is a great little museum in Columbus. Got me a Thurber bobblehead there.

So. cool. Congratulations!

It is a funny book, and it also almost made me cry twice. That doesn't happen often. Well deserved.

Well deserved! I read 3 of the semi-finalists and yours made me laugh the most. Plus, as you say, Thurber and Ohio!

We're really loving this book at our house. We've been reading it at bedtime with our 11 year old, but progress is slow because she keeps asking me to reread the Diner scene on Day 4. I might just have to read ahead on my own! Congratulations!

Congratulations. Much deserved. Also a biting bit of satire, which I much enjoyed (and will again someday - I re-read a lot).

Gonna hit this two ways (Both kidding) 1. Pretty sure that was a documentary. B. Didn't find anything funny about the moon turning into cheese!!! (Moon fanatic or cheese fanatic? You be the judge!)

huge congratulations! you’re officially even more super cool.

Okay, so I've read exactly two of these, and I just have to say, of those two, the Scalzi book is CLEARLY [a] far more humorous & [b] much more in the spirit of the actual Thurber oeuvre. (Yes, I've read quite a bit of his stuff; actually.) YMMV, but still.

Congratulations! Hope it wins! What an honor!

AWESOME!!! Congrats!

Congratulations on making the long list. I haven't read When the Moon Hits Your Eye yet, mainly because I get an ear worm of that Dean Martin song every time I read the title, but now I'm going to move it higher up on my reading list.

It was a delightful read. I’ve been in a reading slump this year, but MOON compelled me to continue reading!

Congratulations!

Also: yay! And no knock on Osman, who I also like, but still confused about this despite going to his Wikipedia page and the award website.

Yeah, I'm wondering that too.

I loved this book. Congratulations!

Deserved. It's an incredible book. Yes, it's very funny, but it's also a deeply moving book about life, death, and humanity.

Well deserved - congrats!
