The actor/comedian announced the move on his Twitter feed on Thursday:
The title of the book: "The Ten, Make that Nine, Habits of Very Organized People. Make that Ten." Grand Central Publishing, a unit of Hachette Book Group, will publish the book in 2012.
Martin joined Twitter in September 2010 and now has close to 1.8 million followers. Martin's not the first to recycle tweets into a book. The forerunner for Twit Lit was Justin Halpern, who got a book deal and a short-lived TV show based on his Shit My Dad Says Twitter feed.
Some recent Martin tweets:
"Dinosaurs did not walk with humans. The evolutionary record says different. They gamboled."
"Got the new iPhone and it keeps saying, 'you’re a creep.'"
"I’m for the Wall Street Occupiers. But will they accept me when they find out I sell packaged mortgage default instruments to children?"
"I’m tired of wasting letters when punctuation will do, period"
"I got a flue shot and now my chimney works perfectly."
