Sarah Palin - now don't laugh - is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book. Actually, in the word of the publisher, she's 'collaborating' on a book. What an embarrassment! It's one of these 'I told you,' books that jocks do.

He loved to eat candy while he read, and lots of his favorite books at home had brown smudges on the corners of the pages.
