Has anyone read this?
it's by Craig Clevenger.
It's crazy good.
If chuck palahniuk and will christopher baer had a child that was exactly 50% of each parent's awesome writing style, it would be craig clevenger.

It's so amazing.
I love it so much.
read it!
here is a bit of it:
http://books.google.com/books?id=M_IqAcCPRdUC&dq=the+contortionist%27s+handbook&pg=PP1&ots=ftwoMQRdaF&source=bn&sig=iXWGLWkuVjk-cpoBo5i4HqUZYPU&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=7&ct=result#PPP1,M1

What's it about? I saw you reading it but I'm still in the dark a bit. And I'm too lazy to click on that link.

oh noeeeess!!

okay, it's about this:
this guy gets really really really bad headaches once or twice a year, and always ends up overdosing on painkillers and whatnot... and obviously, after you go to the hospital for that they need to do an evaluation to make sure you didn't try to kill yourself, and it was actually an accident.

this guy, he also changes his identity all the time, because he's a forger, or something..
and it's cool.

and the book goes through his evaluation, and he has to play the role of the guy he made up, and while he's answering the questions, he's sort of going back into storytime for the reader about his life and stuff.

I don't know, it's tough to explain and I'm making it sound lame.

but it's really witty, and I like the style, and the characters are really real and memorable.

read it

In exchange for cookie?

haha, I already read it.
I think I was bragging to you about getting it done in one day, and still managing to work 6 hours and study for the spanish exam.

or maybe I was bragging to someone else?

my brother has it right now, but he should be done soon!

It's not bad so far, but I prefer more unrealistic fastasy/horror/comedy/unrealistic books..
