EDITOR’S NOTE: Here follows perhaps my favorite sentence in any question submitted this year. 1. She is the first woman to appear on the covers of both the Wall Street Journal and Juggs Magazine. Born in 1968, she began her career dancing in strip clubs with a fake ID at the age of 17. After several bad experiences as a feature dancer, she retired from the club circuit.

Taking time to criticize Sheryl Crow, Sting and Michael Hutchence, his book also chronicles his experiences working with Black Sabbath at their 1997 reunion shows.

4. Its promotion began in new age grassroots fashion in the spring of 2001, with a website that seemingly chronicled some of the “lesser known” landmarks in America.

The novel itself features Shadow, who has been recently released from prison, finding himself a man without a home or family. He comes quickly under the guidance of the mysterious Mr. Wednesday, a man missing an eye. What follows is a road trip that touches upon virtually every defunct religion in the world, and ends with a climactic battle in Chattanooga’s own Rock City.
