Dear Mr. Pinkwater,

In my last month of high school, I chose your work for a literature presentation. Half-way through my public reading of a passage in The Avocado of Death, I began laughing and could not continue. I apologized enough that no points were docked.

I am now an LDS student going to an LDS university. The only two books I brought with me were the scriptures and a tome of your work.

Thank you.

 No doubt you are quite influential among your fellow students.  Let them know what to read.  I'm assuming you're out west--if you haven't read The Neddiad, it might have some resonance for you.
