Hey, Nathan – when trying to comment, if I click outside the “Reply” button by mistake, I’m getting pop-up spam ads and threats. This started today.

If the proposal isn’t sex… then yes, it would be startling.

Honestly, how can billionaires find time to do anything with all the middle-class lady porking they need to fit into their schedules?

LOL! Can’t say I ever considered that particular objection to this genre, but that’s a pretty fantastic point.

Probably being picky here… but if you’re going to make a proposal (especially a ‘startling’ one) shouldn’t, like, someone else be there as well? Y’know… ANYONE else?

On the bright side, the apostrophe is in the right place…

I would not be too sure that the apostrophe is in the right place. Knowing lousy book covers as a genre, until I care enough to learn more, this could be a book about the Italian billionaires’ proposal to challenge Michael Bloomberg and George Soros for world domination (or at least dominion over Mare Nostrum).
