Zach Galifianakis has made his debut into the book world in a new video with the author John Wray about Wray's book, "Lowboy." In a bizarre twist on the traditional author interview, Galifianakis pretends to be John Wray as the author interviews him. Hilarity ensues. The video ends on Galifianakis's weird but awesome meditation on writing with pasta:

I actually did one novel spelling out the words in bowtie pasta, or you know, elbow noodles. It never got published, 'cause I boiled it, and I ate it... I ate one of my books.

If you're going to make a book video, this is definitely the way to do it.

What makes a book or author or promotion "pop" or "plop" on screen? For me, humor, a hint of controversy, or a heaping helping of insider advice.

Books need to come out faster and in all forms -- audio, digital, and enhanced, which means skillfully embedding audio and visuals to enrich, not interrupt, the reading experience.
