Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton reportedly sent a copy of her book Hard Choices to each Republican presidential candidate.

596 pages.

While we haven’t had a chance to read Clinton’s memoir (none of us have time for a book-induced coma), we can’t help but wonder if half of the book is made up of friendly banter about yoga, Chelsea’s wedding, and curtains. Supposedly, Hard Choices discusses at great length, Hillary’s accomplishments as Secretary of State, all 596 pages of them.

Though it should be noted filling 596 pages doesn’t necessary indicate breadth of achievement so much as it means the ghost writer (we’re guessing here) got a little long-winded.

In any case, Senator Rand Paul decided to share the unsolicited addition to his library with the world — for a fee.

Thursday, Paul’s account tweeted:

Thanks for the great work of fiction @HillaryClinton. We decided to auction it, bid now: https://t.co/vpFcoYXB8A — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) October 8, 2015

Halloween is around the corner, can I recommend a great fictional book that has some scary ideas? https://t.co/vpFcoYXB8A — Dr. Rand Paul (@RandPaul) October 8, 2015

Billing the book as fiction, Paul’s official campaign store has Hillary’s signed book listed as follows:

Additionally, you are bidding on Senator Rand Paul’s latest book, Taking A Stand. Bid Now on a great work of fiction (Hard Choices) and a great work of non fiction (Taking a Stand).

At the time this post was published, the book auction had 70 bids with a going price over $8,000.

Well played, Senator Paul. Well played.
