A favorite book that is back in print. I found this book years ago while randomly looking through shelves at a bookstore. At the time I didn't realize how rare this kind of writing was. It's a book that is similar to the style of writing I like to do. It has everything from word-reversaling within a sentence, observations of everyday life in minimalistic form, creative suffixing, phrase-catching. If you like this book, I'd be interested in discussing it with you.
