"James Frey might be a surprising choice, but I liked A Million Little Pieces." [Post]

Did you forget that today was your last day to file for a refund for buying James Frey's partially fabricated memoir A Million Little Pieces? You probably did, because only 1345 people have filed. You should get your chunk—The Smoking Gun tells us that, somehow, the lawyers for the class action suit are billing for three-quarters of a million bucks. Sick!

On April 6, lawyers will assemble downtown to approve the settlement of the A Million Little Pieces litigation against Random House and James Frey. Did you buy the book in the U.S.? Are you willing to swear you were misled? Congratulations! You're in the settlement class! But you'll only have until May 15 to get your $23.95 for your hardcovers, and you'll sign away the right to have a beef with Frey ever again. [UPDATE: That's a proposed date—real date to be hashed out later.] Best of all, they've already registered the website, with the sexy URL of AMLPSettlement.com. Come and marvel at the web skills of the legal community!

James Frey's (author of A Million Little Pieces) screensaver: "A page a day. Anything less is unacceptable you punk-ass-bitch-motherfucker. Anything less is unacceptable."

Writer James Frey (a.k.a., "the next Dave Eggers;" author of A Million Little Pieces) in an interview with Zulkey.com on jail and rehab: "Jail is really fucking boring, and occasionally, really fucking scary. It is about doing time and getting it over with and staying out of trouble. Rehab is about fixing and changing your life. It, however, can also be boring and scary."
