Great Link **Updated- Link Fixed

I'm not sure if any of you guys ever click on any of the links in my blog's side bar. There are some really interesting blogs and website linked. One I'd like to highlight today is Post Secret. From Wikipedia: Post Secret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. These postcards range from hilarious to utterly heartbreaking. The make for intense and interesting reads.

They have a few books out, too. Though, I don't recommend buying them. They're an okay read, but they're such a fast read and then you never wanna read them again.

I sometimes prefer the ones with only words. Like Group Hug. They have a book out, as well, called Stoned, Naked, and Looking in my Neighbor's Window. I've read it twice and I think it's far more entertaining (and lasts longer) than reading the PostSecret books.

HOWEVER, if you're the type that REALLY prefers pictures with words, than I DEFINITELY prefer the Found books, which are a collection of notes, cards, pictures, CDs, keys, etc that people have found on the street. I love them because they are accompanied by stories from the people that found them and sent them in. E.g. there was an angry note from a woman to her boyfriend about how they were over because here he was at "HER" house. The note was sent in by a the man who found it on his windshield. He wasn't the woman's boyfriend.

There are downsides to both, though; Group Hug has only a mild filter so there's a lot of boring crap to wade through to get to the good stuff, and FOUND is only in two books, not online.
