Friday, and Nick borrowed me a book called Join Me by Danny Wallace. Seeing as I already had two books on the go at once it was very unlikely I would be getting round to reading it anytime soon. That Night I picked up the book and thought I would read the first chapter, just to see if it was worthing leaving on my desk or dumping it on the shelf. Within pages of reading and having a laugh I was hooked. I just finished it last night and was sad to leave it behind. The Story is of a man called Danny Wallace who starts a cult (*ahem* collective) by accident by putting an add in the Loot telling people to Join him. He thought it would be a laugh and joining consisted of sending one photo to his address. Out of the blue he got a reply to his add and within months he had a massive cult (*ahem* collective) up and running. Hundreads of people were Joining him and as part of being in the cult (*ahem* collective) you had to do good deeds every Friday. The Karma Army (Joinees) soon grew to 1000.

It is really funny...remember when Gordon talked about it soon after it came out? I wish I had read it then. Danny Wallace is the same guy who wrote - Yes Man, The amazing tale of what happens when you decide to say Yes - which is the name of the book...and the book based on Join Me - Random Acts of Kindness...Summer I read Yes Man (convincing my mum I was losing it because I was laughing to myself alot) and I only read Join Me after I hinted to Tom to get it for my birthday in October - I need another uplifting book...help...the energy drinks don't work no more
I gave up on the energy lifting drinks about 3 weeks ago. I need an uplifting book too!
