Has anyone taken a look at this book? I have borrowed it of my younger sister, who is only 17 yet turning into some scary mary cool thang right before my eyes (when exactly did she get breasts, let alone such a great sense of humour).
Anyway, its called Post Secret and its (put together) by Frank Warren. Basically he started the project by handing out lots of blank postcards with an addy on them, people had to wrtie a secret on it that they had never told anyone before, be it from fear, hatred, confession or childhood humilation or whatever. At first resonse was slow, then it all went mental with people sending in secrets on any old peice of paper.
Some of them are sad, some very shocking- like the guy who thinks of his mother when he is having sex. I love the ones that are printed in the original handwriting complete with drawings, scribbles et al. This one bloke put 'my secret is i still love my ex girlfreind, i hopes she recognises my handwriting'. Another says thats she is the wife of a preist yet she does not believe in God anymore.
Edited to add: I love the one sent in on a ripped Starbucks coffee cup- its states that they give decaff to customers that are rude lol.
Its a very arty coffee-table style book, but very nice to read all the same
