This is a book about a man that decides to live differently. But when he decides to live differently he notices that there a million ways to live. He sees the lives of the rich, blue-collar, poor, the drunk and charitable. He concludes by making his own version of life.

In Treatise, Noah Cicero says that we cannot blame a rich person for wanting more, for outsourcing, or starting a war to get oil because we ALL want more. That inside the human mind is nothingness, and because it is nothingness, we are always lacking, therefore always desiring more. Sartre explained it like that, and Nietzsche explained it as The-Will-to-Power.]]> 14441 4.28 131 40 2008 25731 0977624242 9780977624249 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167762549m/25731.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167762549s/25731.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25731.The_Condemned 4.29 24 14441 4.28 131 40 2006 25733 0976346028 9780976346029 10 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167762551m/25733.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167762551s/25733.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25733.Burning_Babies 4.71 14
Michael Allen, Grumpy Old Bookman: "The subject matter is dark and might be depressing but for the author's sense of humour. Which is dry, droll, and succeeded in making me laugh. A lot more than many books do."

Harvey Pekar, author of American Splendor and The Quitter: "This is a very good, homemade book about White Trash America. It's full of angry, humorous and intelligent insights. I read it in one sitting."

Reader of Depressing Books: "Here's why I liked your novel Burning Babies. Because the voice. Because of who you are, I guess. If I like someone's voice, then I'll read anything they write, because I trust them. Subject matter doesn't matter to me. I like your voice because you do not explain things that are obvious."
