My Pet Goat

Amazon users review My Pet Goat.  Read them all before they get deleted. =P
 
A quick background for the unfamiliar. While it is commonly known that President Bush was with a classroom full of children on the morning of Sept 11, 2001, the perhaps lesser popularised story book in question has now gained noteriety after movie viewers had more than ample time to stare at and listen to its reading during Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 while observing Bush's reaction to being told of the terrorist attacks. 

A reader (Washington, DC) also assigns 5 stars: This Book Saved My Skin! 
I never like to read - I don' like to make my brain work that hard. But I think this is the most wonderful book in the world. When I was sittin' in that class, and Andy told me the US was under attack - why, I just had no idea what to do! I sat for a while waitin' for somebody to come and tell me what to do, but they did'n. Then I decided I just better do somethin' to make me look busy and like I knew whut I was doin'. So I picked up this book and acted like I was readin' it. I think the kids where real impressed that I was readin'. But what I don' understand is why that teacher was zoomin' that camera in on my face the whole time. 
 
The Beast of the Apocalypse 666 gives 5 stars: Fabulously Riveting!!!!!!
I just couldn't put it down! Certainly much more interesting than Richard Clarke's memo of August 6, 2001 entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States". Why, hell! Clarke didn't include any illustrated pop-ups!

If anyone is interested in the story itself, Ledge of Liberty provides text and scans. But he warns: read at you own risk, this story may distract you for up to 7 minutes. 
 
Enthralled by the book but Amazon's out of stock? Never fear, eBay's here.
