Basically this book finds a hundred ways to repeat the mantra "Carpe Diem". I used to have knee pain and that is gone. I attached a picture of the biggest editing miss. The last section of the book is devoted to some of his male figure charcoal studies, which are incredibly inspiring. Kiran Brunner is a 22 year old freak. I'm not a fan of this stuff, or of the self-help, self-love and self-improvement movements or pop psychology in general.

While enduring relative poverty in Florida, Toad works in a convenience store, eats at the Gutbomb and enthusiastically joins a writing seminar taught by his idol, celebrated novelist EHe discovers that behind Odom's genius is a warped human being who abuses himself and those around him with alcohol, drugs and debauchery. And the story's three female leads -- Ardis, Toad's sometime girlfriend; Missy Sully, Odom's wife; and Lindy, Odom's current mistress -- are complex individuals who play out their expected roles in unexpected fashion," said Nancy Pate in her review for the Orlando Sentinel. The voice in his head is that of Eldon Odom, a famous -- sometimes infamous -- novelist to whom Toad apprentices himself.
