It’s that time of year again: The time of year when you are forced to buy gifts for your friends and family members, and—in doing so—reveal that you know nothing about their hobbies, tastes, or interests.

One thing you might get to do if you write a book is go on a book tour. This means going to bookstores in different cities, talking about and/or reading from your book, and signing copies.
As you may know, we wrote a book, and we went on a whirlwind tour of bookstores in St. Louis and Washington, D.C. And yes, it is still a tour if it’s just two cities. (If it’s just one city, it’s a residency, like Britney Spears is doing in Las Vegas.)
Anyhow, our book tour was a wild ride! Do you want to hear about it? No? Too late!

Do you see how we’ve conveniently arranged our book so it’s between two less-appealing books, in order to make it pop? If you want to help us out, that’s something you can do at your local Barnes & Noble. Just place a few copies in the “#1 Bestsellers” section. If any employees challenge you, tell them you’re Barnes & Noble CEO Demos Parneros.

It’s a question as old as time itself: Does Richard Nixon like you as more than a friend? Take this quiz to find out!
- You’re feeling pretty down after failing your Geometry test. When you tell Richard Nixon about it, he:
a. Tries to cheer you up by muttering a series of ethnic slurs against the Irish.
b. Breaks into your Geometry teacher’s classroom and steals all of his files. Now your Geometry teacher is super sad because he doesn’t have any files!
- One sign that Richard Nixon might be into you is that he will insist on driving you to your dates with other guys. Has this happened to you?
a. Yes! It’s how I figured out that I could make him drive me to the airport by telling him I had a date at the airport.
b. Not yet, but I have been dropping hints like, “I have a date tonight so I guess I’ll check the bus schedule.”
- You’re chatting with Richard Nixon before class when he spots the poster of Rutherford B. Hayes that’s hanging in your locker. How does he react?
a. The next time you open your locker, your poster of Rutherford B. Hayes has disappeared, and in its place there’s a signed glossy of Richard Nixon. When you ask Nixon about it, he just shrugs and says “I am not a crook,” and then flirtatiously shakes his jowls.
b. He comments that Hayes’ beard makes him look like a communist. (And, OK, he is not totally wrong.)
- What do you and Richard Nixon usually talk about?
a. He likes to tell me about his grievances.
b. I mean, yeah, it’s mostly just a list of his grievances and how the school administration is out to get him.
- Do you ever catch Richard Nixon staring at you?
a. Not really. Sometimes I’ll catch his eye, but I can’t be sure if he was looking at me or at the invisible demons that stalk him at every turn.
b. Yes, usually from inside a cable repair van that has been parked in front of my house for six months.
SCORING
a = 0 points, b = 1 point. / 2. a = 1 point, b = 0 points. / 3. a = 1 point, b = 0 points. /
4. a = 0 points, b = 0 points / 5. a = 0 points, b = 1 point.
3 or more points: You should make a move on Richard Nixon!
Good news—your friendship with Richard Nixon is a farce! All this time he’s just been pretending to value you as a friend while concealing his true romantic feelings. So go ahead and get a little closer to “Tricky Dick,” if you know what we mean!
0-2 points: Richard Nixon is not that into you.
Richard Nixon likes you as a friend, but he’s not interested in you romantically. At least, not yet! You should definitely check back and take this quiz again to see if anything has changed. Let’s say, once a week.
