I haven't read Incompetence
But I give a big, firm 'This' to all the others.
Have you read Yes Man yet? I tried to buy it the other day but they were only selling it with Join Me.

I'm still waiting for my signed copy to arrive.
Smiths are hiding it from me deliberately. I might have to buy it and find him to sign it. Any books I have to do with Danny or Dave are signed :D (met Dave 3 times). Are you a joinee?

I am indeed
I am Joinee Thursten *bows*.
And one of Danny's citizens, if that gets going.
Are you going to the recording of Genius next week? If so I will wave at you like a loon.

When is it?
Doubt I'll be able to make it if it's anywhere other than the Midlands, and on any day of the week (and sat).

I am Joinee Brazier, and also a citizen :)

depends
if you like stories about murder/drugs/both then they are very goos in a "I'm too lazy to read something worthy, so I'll read this one with a colourful cover instead"...if you don't then go for Inconcievable or This Other Eden...
