For the past three years Frank Warren has invited people of all backgrounds and nationalities to send him creatively decorated postcards bearing secrets they have never before revealed. He has shared these PostSecrets on his award-winning blog, PostSecret.com
In his latest book A Lifetime of Secrets he shows us a never-before-seen selection of provocative and moving PostSecrets, laying bare our private fears, hopes, regrets, and desires, from people as young as eight to as old as eighty.
Frank Warren started PostSecret.com as a community art project. Since November 2004 he has received more than 150,000 anonymous postcards. The website won two Webby Awards in 2006 and this year was named Weblog of the Year at the Seventh Annual Weblog Awards. The PostSecret project also received a special award from the National Mental Health Association for raising awareness and funds for suicide prevention.

We should order the book for the library, looks fascinating. Especially that person who took LSD at Disneyland. I've been on Mr Toad's Wild Ride and I reckon you'd get freaked out if you were on cold tablets.
Have just ordered a copy...really look forward to browsing through it.
Will let you know when it arrives!
