The Quote is Kind of Cheeseball, But I Like It

It looks like my publisher finalized the cover for my book. I say it looks like, because I know as much about this as an outsider. I found it today on Amazon, and so I assume it's the final cover. This post explains the situation a little more.

(They know I don't like the cover, when I've asked about the cover they say they're working on it, and we kind of settled into a mutually agreed upon silence...)

The only surprise on the cover was the inclusion of a quote by David Bowman. It reads:
"Store your copies of Infinite Jest in the basement. World Leader Pretend is this generation's Bible-slash-novel."
The quote is way over-the-top, but being a David Foster Wallace fan who would never store his copy of Infinite Jest in the basement, I can't help but like it.

Hey, it's got Dave Grohl on the cover. How cool is that?

Nah, he doesn't look that much like Grohl. Although, I know what you mean, I did have to Wikipedia him to make sure.

My abhorrence for the cover waxes and wanes. The Grohl guy is definitely the best part of it, though.
