No Jokes! You, too, can have The Edge
I heard about this book on Howard Stern and it's very--NICE. It's POSSIBLY the CLEAREST book ever. I was best man at his wedding--despite the fact that he actually has a brother--at a charming little Italian Village. Some may say the book gets a litle "hot and crusty," but I say, "Listen, pal! He has a -- RIGHT -- to protest!" He reduces the issue of "Rory and the Hamburger" to a lovely Chinese meal; the most difficult problems are no more than a "sweet breakfast" of the soul. He says don't cry over spilled milk--unless, of course, you're the one who spilled it, all over the table in a restaurant in New Hampshire. Again, the theme of New Hampshire: Most powerful are the book's tragicomic visions of a bufoonish man, running helplessly after a car, as he is mocked. Eventually, he throws a newspaper.

Goatboy, Be Free
By way of a preface to "the healing Pages;" we should all remember that we are all interested in the future...for that is where you and I will spend the REST OF OUR LIVES. What do I mean by that -- and; less importantly; what does that have to do with The healing "Pages"? Glad you aksed. The future -- not the Passed, rather, "THE past," but The future-is where, after all, you And i are going to spend what? Why, the rest of Our Lives. And that's what David Dex's eksellent book is trying to say: The Future is Where YOU AND I are Going To Spend The Rest of -- OUR LVES. And "The Future" is no place for goats! Not in the Jooish Testament sense of "scaped goats" -- "scapegoats," get it? But "Goats" -- the "scapegoats" (see explanaytion) of their families, if you will -- or even if you won't -- have come a long way, baby! I think that's what Dayvd Deks is triing to say. GOATS BE FRE! and; GOATBOYS -- there human counter=parts!!! -- be FREE! Daddy wood you like sum sausage?! PLEASE?!

A 13TH STEP ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY!!!
Coming from an alcoholic family myself, I felt that the poems, stories, etc. in this wonderful little book were taken straight from my own heart. I carry the book with me wherever I go and whenever I feel depressed, I take it out and read one of my favorite passages. The author is clearly in touch with his feelings. He is much further along on the road to recovery than I am, although I am well on my way also, partly in thanks to his inspiration.
I recommend this very brave and soul-bearing masterpiece for anyone who seeks to improve their life: narcotics, alcoholics anonymous, or anyone with weight issues, anorexia and general depression.
