My new book

This is the place to shave off that long white beard and stop being philosophical; a forum for members to just talk like normal human beings.

What do you mean by this?
The reality of Angry's life as expressed in his book or what we know about mental illness?
Sometimes we're not able to 'buy' into something because we're afraid to face the reality of it.
And wouldn't you know that the very thing capable of causing mental illness is just that - fear of facing reality.
But I'm not speaking here of Angry's experiences. That's totally different.
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon

“One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn't have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep.”

“But in good time you'll see that sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”

A room without books ..is like a body without a soul.”

“I couldn't help thinking that if I, by pure chance, had found a whole universe in a single unknown book, buried in that endless necropolis, tens of thousands more would remain unexplored, forgotten forever. I felt myself surrounded by millions of abandoned pages, by worlds and souls without an owner sinking in an ocean of darkness, while the world that throbbed outside the library seemed to be losing its memory, day after day, unknowingly, feeling all the wiser the more it forgot.”

So that's what it would be about for you - seeing the chaos onleashed? And would that give you understanding and compassion toward those people who experience this?
Humor - with RESPECT - does have its time and place to disempower reality sometimes, but we have to make ourselves aware of when and where and with whom that is. What are you - about fifteen years old? This is not about a video game - it's real life unfolded.

If you will E-Mail it to me as a Word Document or PDF, I will go on and buy it after I receive the E-Mail.


Cool Pav, you can download it without kindle to your PC, with this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/r ... 1000426311

Please feel free to review it! Be harsh too if you need to, negative feed back means its not biased


I don't want to Download Kindle for my PC. If I pay for the book up front, then will you send it to me as a Word Document or PDF? I promise not to share it with anyone.

It won't let me buy it because I don't have whatever on my computer. Anyway, if you want, you're asking $2.99 for it, I'll PM you my contact info first, and then you can PM me yours and I'll mail you a check for $10.00 for it since this has been such a pain in the ass.

Serious? so you are a certified author now... congrats on that :)
Examine what is said, not him who speaks.
~Arab Proverb
Imageaes dhammo sanantano Pali: 'this is the eternal law'

The Narcissist exists whereby every activity and relationship is defined by the hedonistic need to acquire the symbols of spiritual wealth, this becoming the only expression of rigid, yet covert, social hierarchies. It is a culture where liberalism only exists insofar as it serves a consumer society, and even art, sex and religion lose their liberating power.

Thank you. Not quite where I wanted to be at this point, but what the hell can you do when you shoot for supreme ruler of earth at an early age and don't make it.
