[.ca] Still Mostly True: Collected Stories & Drawings (ISBN 0964266016)

My favorite book ever.:
Still Mostly True is the greatest book I have ever had the pleasure of reading- it cheers me up when I am sad, inspires me when I am blocked, and reminds me to look toward the little things in life for happiness. I appreciate Brian Andreas more than he will ever know for helping me, my mother, and my roomates at college through good, bad, happy and sad times. I only wish he had fifteen books like this one. I would never stop smiling!

Fun to read through and ponder.:
A fun collection of poems, drawings and statements. Many will apply to things going on in all satges of adult life such that I found inspiration for a number of things depending on when I reread it and what was going in my life at the time.

Brian Andreas is my new favorite poet.:
I have long been a collector of poetry, from Blakely and Browning to Rod McKuen (who I enterviewed twice for a literary magazine), but it has been a long time since I was so impressed with a poet. Brian Andreas is a sensitive soul who captures thoughts with humor and truth; he seems to say exactly what you have always thought, but never could quite find the right words yourself. Every page of this book is profound and exquisitely true.

An inspirational masterpiece like no other!:
One of my favorite books from Brian Andreas' StoryPeople series. And just like his others, I constantly find myself drifting between the lines and beyond the pages -- only to discover that they let me reflect upon my own thoughts and feelings. Much in the way of Dr. Seuss' or Shel Silverstein's books, Still Mostly True epitomizes the simple things in life -- like love and laughter and memories and dreams. Maybe the best way to sum it up would be like this: No words can describe this book better than the words YOU use to describe the way life feels. Remember that song that you loved when you were a junior in high school?... It's like that. You bring your life to his stories.
