I found this book to be very well written, causing the brain to work. The author's idea's and philosophies are fresh and open minded. From fiction to religion and creationism, the author takes you for a wild ride, complete with twists and turns that kept my attention as we careened from subject to subject. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to lift some free weights with their brain.

The back cover verbatim:
Herein lie words intended first and foremost for the reader's pleasure. Poems, essays, stories and memoirs, this book can be read as a full course meal or as snacks at random times, and, like the ancient texts of the Far East, can be opened at random to answer questions. Some few of these words are topical to Frederick, Maryland, USA, where the author has lived for more than ten years, but most are universal in their pertinance. Another intention of the author was furthuring the art of thinking for pleasure. For those of us who enjoy thinking, there is much to muse about within. For those who delight in images, it will be delectable. Nothing pleases an artist as much as appreciation.

(a photograph of the writer at sixteen by M. Snoots) John Carlton Hagerhorst was born on the eighth day of the eighth month of 1938. He weighed eight pounds and eight ounces. He became a writer at age 11, a painter at 13, a driver at 14, a radar operator at 18, a control tower operator at 20, and an artist at 30. He is grateful for an audience.
