I have great difficulty dismissing the possibility that the submitters for this book were not operating under similar motives. I've been listening to music I normally wouldn't (Jazz, Norah Jones), reading books I definitley wouldn't usually (Watchmen, Scanwich, GirlLand), and all around trying to make myself happy rather than others. I seem to be pretty selfless sometimes which can put me in bad situations. We thought that we would look cool to the high schoolers (through osmosis, evidently, as it was a secret questionnaire). But the book isn't one of the larger PostSecret books are there are some truly great secrets within. Ones that are strange, funny, sad and most importantly specific. The more specific a secret, the more meaningful it is when it touches a part of us.

There is also a "Postsecret Korea", though there is no reference to credit or endorsement of Warren. The response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art -- carefully and creatively constructed by hand. Addictively compelling, the cards reveal our deepest fears, desires, regrets, and obsessions. Frank calls them "graphic haiku," beautiful, elegant, and small in structure but powerfully emotional. Warren has stated that he includes a secret of his own in each of the PostSecret books. His "secret" is not anonymous like most; rather, Warren signs his. For example: "Sometimes when we think we are keeping a secret, that secret is actually keeping us. -Frank" [9] When you were in the ICU I took your picture. I wanted you to see what you looked like, so that you might go to rehab. I never showed you the pictures, you never went into rehab and I never forgave myself. I am so sorry." With permission from Warren, a French version of PostSecret was launched in October 2007 under the name "PostSecretFrance".

PostSecret collected and displayed over 2,500 original pieces of art from people across the United States and around the world between its founding on January 1, 2005 and 2007. [2]

My favourite part about working at Lego Land is destroying all of the buildings that little kids create." You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative. The story of my life would be a bloody sight shorter if the man who tried to murder me outside the Broadway Theatre in Barking on a winter's evening in 1989 had succeeded. He nearly did.Frank Warren has spent forty years working with boxing's most colourful and controversial characters. In his long-awaited autobiography, he reflects on the battles he had to win to reach the top and remain there, not least the battle to stay alive after he was shot at point-blank range in an attempted assassination in 1989. However, Warren seems not to favour too many people and the score-settling escalates to industrial levels akin to Father Ted’s Golden Cleric acceptance speech. Boxing promoter rivals, especially father and son Barry and Eddie Hearn (“Eddie’s hardly had to do it the hard way”), are shown no mercy. Neither are boxers Barry McGuigan (“another who disappointed me”) and Chris Eubank, whose reputation Warren destroys with one hideous anecdote, while Frank Bruno’s ex-wife Laura is “an absolute pain”. If you can't read the text on this blurry photo, it says: "In November 2004, I printed 3000 postcards inviting people to share a secret with me..."

The would-be assassin didn’t miss. The bullet passed through a lung, but bypassed an artery and missed Warren’s heart by millimetres. A former client, troubled boxer Terry Marsh, was tried and acquitted on a 10-2 majority verdict. “So there were two people convinced it was him…” shrugs Warren. However, while he declares “I know with cast-iron certainty who it was”, he seems not to have shared this perhaps crucial information with, say, the police.In elementary school, I stated lying and telling everybody I was allergic to peanuts. This is my first peanut butter cup in years. I had to eat it in the car so my fiance wouldn't see. He thinks I'm allergic to them too."

That was enough to intrigue me. Every year my school library does a "Blind Date with A Book" challenge around Valentine's Day and this is the first time that I actually parcipated. I don't know about you, but that hook was too good to pass up. The second-to-worst PostSecret book. The term for most of these secrets today is "vaguebooking." Other secrets are targeted at a single person, as if the creator were more interested in shaming that one person rather than bearing their soul. Some aren't even secrets so much as they are, "Look at me!" statements or competitive introversion. McNichol, Tom (2007). "PostSecret". TIME.Com's First Annual Blog Index. Time .
