I've loved Brian Andreas for years, but never owned one of his books until this past summer, when someone very special gifted the old roomies and me with a book of his stuff. I took it with me when I left the house (it was selfish and I know it). If you've never read Brian Andreas, it's a singular and wholly fulfilling experience that I can't describe.

"It is a collection of goofy-looking, childlike drawings and enigmatic strange little aphorisms, all the way through the book. The pages aren't numbered and there are no chapters, so you just have to wander around and experience whatever you happen to find. Whatever time you spend with this book will be worth it."
I for one love the way Andreas mind works and have loved finding random treasures of wisdom. It reminds me that everyone has a story to tell. Everyone.

I find that as I read and reread Andreas's books, different stories hit me strongly at differnt times. I like them all, but some just really, really, really resonate for me. It's interesting to me that the same book can be so different for me time and time again.

Brian Andreas is a poet who tells stories, and I love that combination.

He talks about capturing moments. Ideas. Places. People. And he does.

These little story/poem/art pieces are playful and sometimes thoughtful, if sometimes a little new-age corny. I'll hang onto this old book, and probably reread it again the next time that's what I'm in the mood for.

I just love Brian Andreas's stuff. He combines innocence, wit, strong stories of the heart, and cynicsm in a way that brings me great joy. What a wonderful mind and imagination!

My best friend from the dorms my freshman year and I read this book together. They are little poems of irony and are sometimes depressing, sometimes funny, sometimes make you smile and are just amazing. He has a ton of books too like this so its really fun!

I love it - Andreas' drawings and stories/poems have magical qualities about them. They're full of wisdom, humor, and an irreverent outlook on life.

I am a great fan of Brian Andreas's simple, fun line drawing and poetic micro-stories.
