MARIETTA, GA – The Earth moves through space at roughly 66,000 miles per hour. Most people never notice. Allen Lee Thomas did, and instead of panicking, he laughed.
Who cuts the barber’s hair? Does the South Pole get jealous at Christmas? What delivers a stork’s baby?
These are the kinds of questions that populate Crap to Consider While Traveling Through the Universe at 66,627 MPH While Sitting Here, a new release from Author’s Tranquility Press. Written by Thomas, author of The Lonely Library Book, the collection moves from the absurd to the reflective, offering observations on everyday life that lean into humor first and let the deeper moments arrive naturally.
Thomas draws on the ordinary: the logistics of Noah’s Ark, the peculiarities of aging, the quirks of modern life. There are jokes about Smurfs and toilet seats, but also quieter passages about memory, time, and the weight of old photographs.
One playful chapter, “The Game of Life,” reimagines existence through board games like Mousetrap, Monopoly, and Battleship. Another section serves as a personal tribute to the musicians who have filled Thomas’s ears over a lifetime, from Led Zeppelin to Patsy Cline to Dolly Parton.
The result is a collection of thoughts from a man who decided that asking dumb questions might be the smartest thing anyone can do.
Crap to Consider While Traveling Through the Universe at 66,627 MPH While Sitting Here is available now on Amazon.
