So keep sending in your suggestions.

But mostly I'm here to remind you to enter the three contests (just five days left!) so that you can win a free autographed copy of An Abundance of Katherines.

Contest 1: Come up with a better prank than anything in Looking for Alaska. (Note: You don't have to DO the prank, just describe it to me in an email.)

Contest 2: Take a photograph of Looking for Alaska in an unusual place. Multiple entries are allowed; funniest wins. Those can also be emailed, or posted online.

Contest 3: Create a Looking for Alaska playlist. n.b.: There are approximately 11,000,000 entries in this contest so far, and so your chances of winning go way up if you enter one of the other contests. But you should create a playlist too, because they are fun to listen to.
