Distinctive in its candor about a family's rise through the twentieth century, about the confusion of the author's 1970s at Phillips Exeter Academy and Chapel Hill, and about his brother's baffling rise and fall through major mental illness. I read the manuscript three times in development with deepening pleasure. Facebook friends who share experience or interest in one of these experiences as I share them all report their delight in the book. Highly recommended.

Lot's of hilarity AND cool insights throughout the entire book, but the section on dating by itself has convinced me to buy like a dozen copies(hello income tax refund) to gift at friends, relatives, literate strangers, maybe even a local library or two.

I follow the Humans of New York Facebook page, so I was very excited when I saw that there was book coming out. I was not disappointed. This book now holds pride of place on my coffee table and has started many interesting conversations with guests to my apartment. The photos are beautiful and the stories are moving, and often uplifting. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This was a birthday present for someone else, but they seem happy enough with it as a picture of it is now their Facebook profile picture

I was originally resistant to the Facebook experience, but I joined a few years ago as a way to connect with friends that I was trying to meet up with in person on a trip to California. Since then I have been a regular user, but not an obsessed one. Unlike the author, I have no Facebook friends that I have not met in real life. I don't use Facebook as a substitute for face-to-face experience. And although I log in nearly every day to keep up on what other people are doing, I only post when there is something of interest to my friends to report.

And there have been huge positives to Facebook. Through it, I have recently been able to discover and share a way to help the family of a dear friend of mine, one of the folks I reconnected with in person because of Facebook, who is dying of cancer. The effort has been very successful, and would have been much harder to coordinate through emails and phone calls.

Nothing here really changes my mind about Facebook, and nothing here is anything I haven't already heard, read, or though about. If you're struggling with your social life in the real world because you spend too much time online, opting out of Facebook, by itself, is not going to solve your problems.

I got this as a way to connect with my niece who came for a visit and she is a huge fan of 1D.  We sat down and she got to show me how smart she was and soon we were laughing like we were best friends.  I also realized that there is a lot more to this group than I thought. After a few questions Jessica and I we playing their music and she was telling me all about them and I was truly amazed at the depth of her knowledge of  the young gentlemen.  She was laughing at my reaction as apparently one of the group, Harry I think likes to play jokes in the nude. That made me a little uncomfortable. But then she told me how one of the group likes fart jokes.  Sara Davids has worked hard to write a very nice quiz book that was enjoyable for both of us. We had our heads together over the kindle laughing and acting silly. Jessica lost someone she was close with recently and this brought her out of her shell and now we are talking and she at least is opening up to me about how she feels.  A wonderful gift from a nice little quiz book.  Thank you Sara.

I am a fan of the Humans of New York facebook page and one of my bookwork nieces made her first trip to New York this well.  I thought this was an ideal gift for her to remind her of her trip and to hear real stories of people who have overcome a lot to get where they are.

A friend introducted me to this blog a while back with the post about the "mutated version of the flu", and I feel in love (that one is actually in the book too!).  I now follow the blog daily and it never fails to crack me up.  I preordered the book and couldn't wait to get home and read it yesterday.  I devoured it in one night and laughed out loud at all the different stories.  As a mom of four (boys 8.5 & 7, girls 4.5 and almost 3) I could relate to it all.  What was nice is that so many of the stories bring back the memories of when we just had the two boys and went through these stages, and then they are fresh for my day to day life with my two girls.  It touches on how in the moment sometimes things suck, but when you look back at the memories, they bring laughter and happy thoughts.  This is especially true with the travel chapter!! I think that was my favorite.

Some of the stories are from the blog but most of it is new material.

The book is beautiful - the artwork really comes across well on the page.  Awesome job!!!

For the past two years, Neil Pasricha has dedicated himself to identifying one new awesome thing every weekday, and posting it on his blog. Without fail, these things are commonplace. Things we experience in our daily lives without ever paying them much attention. Because of the regularity with which we experience them, it's easy to overlook how they make our lives better in big and small ways.

What's delightful about the blog, and now this book, is that Neil gives us a chance to hit pause, and look back on our experiences, celebrating them, albeit belatedly. His writing is celebratory, engaging, funny, and inspiring.  What's more, you don't have to read too many of his entries before you start paying attention to perfectly toasted toast, the last crumbly triangle in the bag of potato chips, or the smell of books, and smiling when you experience them. You also begin recognizing new awesome things yourself. Somehow, when you start paying attention to how the little, seemingly inconsequential things can brighten your day, the genuinely bad stuff doesn't seem so consuming. The world seems a little bit friendlier. A little bit smaller. A little more wonderful.

Now that I've said that, I think it's really important to tell you that this is NOT A SELF-HELP BOOK (despite how I've seen it promoted recently). It's not a psychology book. It's not an instruction manual. It's a catalog of short, joyous essays about awesome things. I promise that you will walk away from this book having mastered no new concepts. However, I also promise that you will find yourself smiling and nodding in appreciation while you read -- a silent toast to awesome things you never took the time to recognize.

I had high expectations for this book, which were well-exceeded. In fact, I liked it so much that I bought copies for my parents and my sister, who have enjoyed it as well.

I have had the best time reading through this humorous and intriguing list of Facebook Posts by the illustrious Warren Pope.  I am so glad he put these together to be enjoyed at will. It was my very first Amazon Kindle purchase :)

I enjoyed this book.  Since I am peculiar and have peculiar friends, it made me feel at home.  I also appreciate how the author incorporated the photos even if some of them are creepy. I borrowed this book through the Sacramento Public Library via the Kindle Amazon program

I have already gifted it to several friends for their enjoyment. It makes me feel more proud of our heritage, and helps me feel good about why we Americans are the way we are.

Facebook and social media has been around for years now, so long that many of us don't even remember what it was like the first time we signed into the account and uploaded our very first profile picture. In the years since it's creation Facebook and other forms of social media have become the norm, and whether a blessing or a curse they've become a huge part of everyone's lives. The book "Like, Comment, Share: Life in the Age of Social Media" takes us back to that first day when we all discovered Facebook for the first time and it's endless entertainments and distractions from the real world.  The book focuses on Luis, whose newfound singleness has prompted him to enter the digital world.  With the help of his friend he becomes the newest member of Facebook. The reader then follows along as Luis is sucked into the virtual world and all of its vast intricacies. From there Luis quickly utilizes it as a way to meet a brave new world, full of possibilities. In this process he has a lot of adventures, making new friends and traveling around the world. For me, it was amazing to read about Luis first interactions with Facebook, and realize how much things have changed, and how accustomed I had become to this website, that once was never even a thought in my mind. It took me back to my high school days, back to when my parents would attempt to monitor my computer time and when I had told myself that I was never going to let myself be sucked into the world of Facebook or get too attached to it. Nowadays I wake up and the first thing I do, is check my phone for notifications.
 This book was refreshing and eye-opening in so many ways. It truly shows just the sort of impact that social media has had on our lives today, both the good and the bad.  Ramos's writing style is incredibly fluid and makes for an easy, fast-paced read. The book is chockfull of a dialogue that moves the story along quite nicely. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to challenge themselves and to make themselves more aware of the potential impact and endless possibilities of social media in our world today.

This book of delightful stories evokes images from my own life and the lives of my friends.
I smiled and nodded with the sensation that I was with the people in the book and experiencing their joy and pain.
It would make a great gift for birthdays or special occasions.
