Relax | Booth: 5737
It's 3 in the morning and I hope you actually read this!
I am 25, self-publishing a book for the first time. I happen to think it might win me a Pulitzer. Anyhow, let's just say that I've been told before that I am "the most interesting person" that people have ever met. My book is entitled: RELAX! Subtitle: SELF HELP AND MY MENTAL ILLNESS. It's an academic memoir which presents my master's degree work (for which I analyzed the American self help industry) combined with my personal life story, which is, frankly, a little bizarre. It's now 3:24am.
