Timothy's Take-Out-First Novels Just Don't Come Better Than This

If you're an avid reader of humorous fiction, this might be the novel for you. If you're an established writer of humorous fiction, you might not want to know it exists.

(PRWEB) September 22, 2005 -- Conceived in the Eighties, refined over the decades like some exquisite piece of artwork, "Timothy's Take-Out" has finally been released to the public. And, surprise of surprises -- the public is embracing not only the novel but also its author, Paul J. Barker. People seem tickled that a humble restaurateur could explode on the literary scene with a novel capable -- indeed, more than capable -- of standing its ground against the industry's heaviest hitters. Copies of Barker's remarkable debut effort can be seen peeking out of purses and back pockets all over the globe.

Just about everyone has held a job they despised at some point in their lives, and this is undoubtedly one reason for "Timothy's Take-Out's" appeal. People who hate their job will commiserate with the lead character; people happy in their work will thank their lucky stars they are not this man.

"Timothy's Take-Out" is basically the story of Carl Fellows, a not-so-lovable loser whom God has shortchanged in virtually every department: looks, brains, personality, you name it. The young man's flaws do not stop him from pursuing his lofty (if somewhat unrealistic) goals -- but then he takes a job at Timothy's.

The gaudy fast food joint is no place for an introspective, "artsy" type, and Carl knows it. From virtually his first day at work he is inundated with all manner of obnoxious customers (not that his irresponsible fellow employees are any step up!) Carl's heroic-but-hilarious attempts to escape this nightmare lead him down some interesting paths, to say the least.

"Timothy's Take-Out" (ISBN # 1-4137-3164-3) has never been easier to get one's hands on. A few clicks of the mouse and a copy of this delightful book could be on your doorstep within days.
