Really lovely book, and a quick read. If you're ever thinking about starting a creative projecting, this is absolutely the kick in the ass to make you do it. I will be referring to it again and again.

Wow. You know, I *might* have been able to get the lessons of a vegan diet if I was wasn't CURSED OUT ON EVERY PAGE. They lose the message in their incredibly vain attempt to try to appear cute. Ugh.
