Anyone read this book??
If so what did you think. Life changing or a pile of horse crap?

It is not a book of grammatical correctness.

No, but at first I thought you were talking about The Way of the Warrior of Light by Paolo Coelho. Got any tidbits from it?

i'd argue that a pile of horse crap and a life changing experience are not mutually exclusive.

Sounds a little like Stone Junction, which is an excellent book.
 I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

It is a very good book. Just gives you a whole new perspective about many different things. I no longer want to stab everyone on the subway. It worked for me.

The subways are now safe. Well except for the occasional urine/splooge/fecal/bird disease occurance. But yeah...

Uhh...not really. Everyone in this city is so miserable, lonely and scared. It takes a lot of concentration everyday not to let it get to you. I just try to be as nice as possible. But you still try not to make contact.
Once I was trying to help this old lady bring her heavy, multiple bags down the stairs and she beat me with her purse and screamed "THIEF" at me about 8 times. That fucked up my day.

Pushing her down the stairs might have made you feel better.

She was more in that position than I was. And the thing is that I asked her if she wanted help with her bags and she grunted yes. Friggin city.

amazing book! glad you enjoyed it. i read it about 5 years ago. one of my favorite books of all times. and most of my friends who have read it thought it was pretty good. a few have said a bit hokey. i heard about it from the much music website. it used to have a section where artists recommended their favorite books. i was one there checking out frank black's book recommendations. he had recommended the red mars series. then i saw that christian slater had recommended the way of the peaceful warrior.
