A Best Book of the Year: NPR and Boston Globe
Finally a novel that puts the "pissed" back into "epistolary." Jason Fitger is a beleaguered professor of creative writing and literature at Payne University, a small and not very distinguished liberal arts college in the midwest. His department is facing draconian cuts and squalid quarters, while one floor above them the Economics Department is getting lavishly remodeled offices. His once-promising writing career is in the doldrums, as is his romantic life, in part as the result of his unwise use of his private affairs for his novels. His star (he thinks) student can't catch a break with his brilliant (he thinks) work Accountant in a Bordello, based on Melville's Bartleby. In short, his life is a tale of woe, and the vehicle this droll and inventive novel uses to tell that tale is a series of hilarious letters of recommendation that Fitger is endlessly called upon by his students and colleagues to produce, each one of which is a small masterpiece of high dudgeon, low spirits, and passive-aggressive strategies. We recommend Dear Committee Members to you in the strongest possible terms.Binding Type: Paperback

The Ball Never Gets Boring
Color: Tangerine - 3.15Inch
My dog was immediately curious about this ball, and that curiosity turned into a surprisingly long play session. The movement keeps things unpredictable enough that it holds attention longer than a standard toy. I liked that it encouraged activity without requiring me to constantly throw something across the room. The textured surface also seemed easy for my dog to grab and carry around. One thing I noticed is that hard floors allow the ball to move around much more dramatically than carpet. It feels sturdy enough to handle enthusiastic play and occasional chewing. The bright color makes it easy to spot when it inevitably ends up under furniture. Charging was simple and didn’t become a hassle.

Tough build for rowdy play sessions
Color: Tangerine - 3.15Inch
I picked up this motorized E-TPU dog ball last Thursday to keep my German Shepherd occupied during my afternoon video conferences in Folsom. The product quality is evident in the spongy, high-density foam construction, which provides a satisfying grip for his jaws without sustaining a single tear or puncture. The built-in motion sensor is highly responsive, sending the ball into an unpredictable frenzy of hops and spins whenever it gets nudged. It offers excellent value for money because the structural integrity holds up perfectly against aggressive chewing that would normally shred standard rubber toys in minutes. For a parent or professional needing a functional, autonomous distraction to burn off their pet's excess energy indoors, this rugged smart toy delivers a very reliable and quiet performance.

My dog really likes it
Color: Tangerine - 3.15Inch
My golden retriever has a lot of energy, especially on rainy days when we can’t stay outside for long. This rolling ball has been a fun way to keep him entertained indoors. The movement is unpredictable enough to keep him interested, and he’ll follow it around the living room until he’s ready for a nap.
The material has held up well to daily play, and it’s easy to recharge when needed. Watching him chase it around has honestly been entertaining for the whole family. Great toy for keeping active dogs busy.
What I like most is that it gives him something to do without needing constant attention from us. The ball rolls on its own, changes direction, and keeps him engaged much longer than some of his other toys. A nice option for dogs that need extra stimulation during the day.

Keeps my puppy happy!!
Color: Orange - 3.15Inch
My 8 month old puppy loves this ball!! He is so happy when we charge it up for him!! It's great because it keeps him busy for a few minutes and it tires him out. This is our second one so we always have one ready to go for him.
