You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

A slight intermission.

I ordered this book recently, having seen some really good reviews of it, and it arrived today. And I've decided, because if I only review books this blog will barely ever be updated, that I will also post entries documenting my wreckage. At the moment, I'm finding it very hard to do anything to it, because it looks so pretty and new. I might force myself to do something, because I'm sure it will be easier once I've started.


Wreck This Journal is a book which wants to be destroyed. It's aimed at perfectionists (like me), who like to keep things neat and the objective is to really wreck the journal. There is a different activity on every page - some are creative, some destructive. I like making lists, so here are some examples of the different pages:
1. Add your own page numbers.
2. Crack the spine.
3. Leave this page blank on purpose.
4. Tear out. Crumple.
5. Pour, spill, drip, spit, fling your coffee here.
6. Poke holes in this page using a pencil.
7. Tie a string to the spine of the book. Swing wildly.
8. Cover this page using only office supplies.
9. Collect the stamps off of all your mail.
10. Write one word over and over.
