"Holy crap this dude experienced some crazy hallucinations! He writes about his transformation from everyday professional man to drug connoisseur to yoga chic hippy! Written in the most colorful way printed in the most attractive bold type, different sized lettering on most of the pages. Kinda like a dimension Alice (Alice in Wonderland) may have visited. He includes photographs from his personal p..."

"a guide to the practically obvious, with step-by-step instructions. recc'd by someone on lj, i am utterly amused by this. could be useful for folks w/ autism or other folks along the spectrum, as well as the extremely socially inept. i'm curious how using these instructions would work for someone - would it come out naturally, or is there still something lost between the acts and the actual mea..."

Talk To The Hand | Lynne Truss Talk To The Hand | Lynne Truss : communications essays Etiquette Hopetastic Lynne Truss nonfiction sociology

1 recommendation

"Same author, same voice as Eats, Shoots, and Leaves, but this time Truss deals with the lack of civility between human-kind in the world today. In other words, I wouldn't really call it a guide or instructional book; I would call it an inspiration for real communication and conversation."

"Published in 1948 and set thirty-six years in the future, 1984 is George Orwell’s dark vision of the future. Written while Orwell was dying and based on the work of the Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin, it is a chilling depiction of how the power of the state could come to dominate the lives of individuals through cultural conditioning. Perhaps the most powerful science fiction novel of the twentie..."

"I've been listening to the audiobook (from Audible.com, read by the author) on my commute. Though I'm not quite done with the book, I can recommend it strongly to anybody who is willing to question how they thought their mind worked. This is not a self-help book and it doesn't offer much in the way of advice on how to think better (I'll update this statement if the last bit takes a dramatic tur..."

"This book is insightful, thought provoking- & short! It's embarrassing for me to admit that I'm not a big reader- (the last book I read at my own leisure was "Jurassic Park"), but think this should be required. D'Souza's thinking is powerful & sharp- I wanted to retain every page. It helped me look at history & the world on a whole new level with great depth & fresh perspective that actually ma..."
