Every time I think I’m finished raving about how awesome The Leftovers is, I think of something else to love about it. Don’t tell my secret literary boyfriend Adam Ross, but I’m thinking of having a thing with Tom Perrotta on the side. Or maybe while we’re on a Ross-and-Rachel-esque break. A lady’s gotta keep it fresh, you know?
Also, he’s cute, and I’m pretty sure we have the same glasses.
Anyway, I adored The Leftovers, and I figure you might like a chance to adore it too, and thanks to the folks at St. Martin’s Press, I have a copy of the audiobook to give away. (How’s that for a run-on sentence?)
Enjoy the excerpt below, and leave a comment to be entered for the giveaway. The winner will be randomly selected. Entries accepted until midnight this Friday, October 14th.

Inês G. onOctober 10th, 2011 4:01 pm Uuuuh, I’d love to read this, but it sadly hasn’t been edited where I live!
Joe Martin onOctober 10th, 2011 4:30 pm I first heard about this book on your podcast and added to my ever growing wishlist of books (again, thanks to the podcast).
I have never read so many books as I have since getting an e-reader, and can’t believe I’m saying this, but haven’t listened to an audiobook since either. The thought of listening to an audiobook seems like cheating on my e-reader. 
Florinda onOctober 10th, 2011 4:55 pm I haven’t read nearly enough Perrotta, and I missed the chance to meet him at BEA, but this book’s been on my wish list ever since. Please enter me in the giveaway! Thanks, Rebecca
