A Lifetime of Secrets by Frank Warren. Warren created an interesting mix of post mail and the internet with www.postsecrets.com. People create and send their own postcards to Warren and each postcard carries a secret the sender has never before revealed. A sampling (last one is mine and not in the book):
"It sucks having your dad go to jail when you are only in sixth grade. I still hold it against him..."
"When I was in college I made $ writing papers for other people. Now I'm a teacher & I feel like a hypocrite every time I give a 0 for cheating."
"I greatly enjoy listening to Adam and the Ants and still remember most of the lyrics."
