Where can I find your other published work?

I believe there was a piece of work you wrote about the universe that I have been interested in but haven't had the time to read.

NG, I will be buying a copy around Christmas time, and may even go as far as getting an auto-graphed one.

Just a heads up.

NiceGuy: Published again?! 10 times?!

There you go.

Crafty, Christmas orders should be made soon; my publisher sent me a notice about there being delays due to the holiday season.

On a related note: MY BOOK WILL MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENT TO ALL!

Right, as far as a review might go, I'm going to attempt one.

Even from day one, when I heard about the book, I knew that I had to get it. Since I've talked to NG from time to time, and I could just talk for hours, just to enjoy reading his answers. NG is by far one of the most intelligent people I have ever met in my life, he has so much knowledge that he makes Ghandi look like George Bush.

When I started reading the book, I wasn't dissapointed, even from the first chapter, I had to take a few hours and ponder. It made me acknowledge new possibilities as far as life goes, and possibly the afterlife. I guess I was thinking about something else at the time and what he wrote just was so appropriate and logical that it sort of intervened with my thought pattern.

When I started reading about being selfless, I recognise alot of what he describes and talks about, what it's like to be truly selfess.. Is it the act of helping one another, while still holding values you can't void, or having no self and live only to help others?

The book in a whole opened a whole new world to say the least, new thoughts, new meanings to old experiences. I like to discuss religion alot, and the end chapter of the book really had me going. It was like, just reading this book, I learned more then I have ever done in the past six months.

To be honest, this is the best book I have read to this date. No joke. I don't know if I am partial to the thoughts, or the theme of the book. But there's something about it that I just can't describe.

This review sort of sucked, since I haven't slept for days and I just can't describe how amazing this book is, Revolutionary even, for teenagers today.

I'd reccommend this book to everyone, regardless of age group, regardless of religion.

I'm sorry NG for being really aweful at expressing myself in a comprihensible manner. But this book is just.. wow.


I will probably add more when I have the book at hand, I need to read it a few more times. But right now I am lending it out to a few friends and spreading the word about the book.

Ive still yet to get around to ordering this book yet, but everyday I hear/read more and more about how amazing it truly is. A lot of people have the same perspective as me, they don't like reading books but ever blue moon one comes across that just absolutely love and can relate to. Once again I am sure you've herd this 100's of times about people saying that they are interested and talking about buying, and they don't. After reading all of the reviews, comments, and everything else I think I should read another book, and this is the one

Hey NiceGuy, I guess Santa got a present for the two of us. I am enjoying your book greatly.

I'm 53 pages in, and I have one question regarding the conversation between NiceGuy and Rage (possibley the same 4 posts above?) on page 19.

Rage explains how his girlfriend was going "90 mph and the truck was going about 70 mph". Upon first reading this, I had a good laugh. I figured Rage was criticising your "therapy sessions" given to other people by bringing forth a false scenario. After reading on though, I realized it was no joke and felt pretty bad about the hearty laugh.

Typo, right? Sorry if I'm highliting your errors for the forum lol.
