The Snippets and the Impure Tour (Buy the Book!)
You see that cover? Man, that is a beautiful cover. That cover was created by one Shane Ryan Simmons, who happens to be a badass artist and professional art dude. So you know we're talking about excellence. And that is excellence to the abstract!
Can you tell I'm a little pumped?
This, as you may or may not know, is my long-awaited-by-some and unknown-to-many book which just arrived yesterday and is perfect in almost every way (I deliberately left a Court Sullivan typo in, you know, ‘cause he's an editor). And you should definitely buy it because if you don't, you will be so uncool that years from now, when I'm in jail for triple homicide and PIC is bigger than Yahoo!, you will wish you had jumped on the bandwagon and had the original version of my fine ass book, which blows away all other attempts at drug humor, snappy dialogue and pun-filled forwards.
Now, in this tough economy, you may be wanting a few more reasons why you should click on this link and shell out cash for The Snippets and the Impure Tour.
First, if you like the snippets, you will absolutely love this book. One of the things that makes the snippets so occasionally kick ass is that they are taken from real life. And sometimes real life will make you lose your excrement. Well, the snippets in this book are taken from my whole life, not just the week before I wrote them. These are the greatest snippets from my life. Some of these even go back to high school. Fucking high school, people! You try remembering the funniest exchanges you had in high school. I used some serious neurons to write this book.
Second, there is a very true to life story in this book about a kid who followed the Grateful Dead for a good chunk of one summer the year before the band broke up due to the death of lead singer, Jerry Garcia. Many may not believe this, but said kid had a real good time, made a good chunk of change and learned some valuable lessons. Let me tell you something: there is nothing like reality-truth left unsaid-a cornball wicked world: The Grateful Dead. On a semi-related note, drugs are bad.
Third, I've taken the economy into consideration here folks. If you can't afford the book itself, you can download it for a mere six bucks. If you've been reading me for longer than a couple of months and don't think I'm worth six bucks, then fuck you and go to another site. And I hate your shirt. And you're ugly.
Fourth, and I know this shouldn't be taken into consideration because it's not your problem, but between my gambling debts and legal fees... well, let's just say I could use the money.
Finally, the foreword in this book is written by Court Sullivan and the entire thing was edited by David Nelson. This book is living proof of what PIC can accomplish when we work as a team-a drunken fool team, sure. But still a team.
Also, and not for nothing, but if you download or purchase a copy of the self-proclaimed best independently published work of fiction in America, I swear your life will be better (assuming you read the thing). Because more than anything, I'm here to help. And more than anything I've written, this book offers help.
Anyway, just buy the damn thing. We'll both be glad you did.

I can't afford the thirty bucks for the paperback so i'm downloading it for six.
Sorry!
Yeah, Nate 30 bucks is kind of steep. When do you think it'll drop to say 15? I will totally shell out some under 20 dollar amount for a paperback novel penned by you. Until then, I guess I'll just have to hope my library orders a copy...
Better yet, just make an article of the guy who "made a lot of money" while following the Dead. The Grateful Dead: a fine band that became a terrible embarrassment.
You giving out signed copies?
Keyword LSD, HA!
Done!
Looking forward to reading this!
1st in oztralia to order one!!!
Hey, do not worry about downloading. I make the same either way. downloading is the option for everyone who can't afford the book. Totally fine. I know times are tough.
Thanks to everyone who bought a copy.
dang, I bough the hard copy hoping you'd get a few extra shillings from it.
I can personally vouch for the awesomeness that is The Snippets and the Impure Tour. Nate has the kind of literary voice that some authors work their whole lives to perfect. Expect big things from our boy.
HOLY SHIT! Congrats Nate, I love the cover and can't wait for the book! hell yes it's worth 30! I'm ordering it as soon as I get my paycheck. Good work man, you should be proud.
Congrats! I don't know if I've ever bought a book from a living author before. Any way to get one signed?
Sure. You can mail it to me, come to Tampa or wait for me to come to New York.
Anything that makes me lose my excrement is worth $30.
Done. Bought the book. Needed something for the shitter. Bathroom Reader was running out of pages!
I'm looking for the book on the homepage saxo.com but i cant find it. can i only buy it through the link?
For right now, yes. Apparently, people have to buy it a lot before any other site will give it credibility. Comedy writers who specialize in dirty humor are so criticized. It really is unfair.
You can buy it through lulu.com right now, too.
Nice Nate...I just spent the last 5 hours reading the book and I must say your writing is hilarious, entertaining and makes me lose my shit sometimes. I think I have officially disturbed all of the people I work with too with all of my laughing. I owe you more than just a beer for that!
By the by Matt, Don't know what your schedule is, but I;ll be in St. August 22 through the 24th if you want to grab that beer
Nice job DeGraaf. I'll order an ebook as soon as I get money in my paypal account. Oh, and if you want it on amazon.com (basically, to get it registered with an ISBN #), you've got to pay like $25.00 or so. Lemme know if you have trouble with that. That is, if you want to do it in the first place.
It'd better be good, by the way.
:P
OH MY GOD I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW
Can I just say that I LOVE the author's note?
Hilarious - definitely going to buy this one!
Nate...I wont be in St. Louis until August...when is the next time you are going to be home?
There must have been a miscommunication. I'll be there in late August.
You've got a good piece, and a tremendous fanbase. I feel you about the palm trees...
New York? When are you coming to New York? That is in my neck of the woods so if you are doing a signing or something like that let us know - would be cool to get a chance to hang out with you! :)
No miscommunication... I just didnt read. Yeah end of August is great...coming home for any big reason or just to come home?
I go to STL every year for the birthday of my niece and now my nephew (who was polite enough to be born in August as well) and to catch a Cardinals game.
The Snipets and the Impure Tour has arrived in Dublin, Ireland.
I'v only read the first chapter or so but I love it already.
Hi Nate! I recently stumbled on this site a few weeks ago and I'm a big fan, esp. of your writing. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard over someone's words. Congratz on ur first published book! I'm def. gonna download it =)
