Other People’s Love Letters is a collection of things you were never meant to see.
Fevered notes scribbled on napkins after first dates.
Titillating text messages.
It’s-not-you-it’s-me relationship-enders.
A heaping helpful of honest missives full of lust, provocation, guilt, and vulnerability-written for a lover’s eyes only.
In the style of PostSecret, Other People’s Love Letters is filled with found messages and lost notes, and provides a look into another life; a behind the scenes glance into another world that is often not unlike your own.
Give it as a gift, or keep it for yourself, but be sure to see what OPLL is all about, because love is a terrible thing to waste.

It is Thanksgiving, so I am going to spend some quality time with the family today instead of updating DYH (Plus, you should be spending some quality time with your family today as well instead of reading DYH!) but it is also Thursday, so I do want to at least leave you with something to check out for Things Thursday.
Thus, if you’re already starting to think about what to get those special someones for the holidays, then be sure to check out Neiman Marcus’s Christmas Book.
This year marks their 100th anniversary of the Christmas Book, and The 100 Anniversary Edition is filled with as much gift giving cheer as ever.
Plus, their Fantasy Gifts section is, as always, filled with the gifts that dreams are made of.
From NM edition Lexus IS Fs to personal submarines to classical concerts to an entire rocket racing league franchise, it’s a millionaire’s playground, and you’re invited to take a peak.
Don’t have a seven figure budget?
Don’t worry, the Christmas Book is filled with plenty of gifts for the normal gift giver as well; but it is fun to dream…
Chuck Palahniuk is definitely my favorite author, so when I read the summary of his upcoming book, Snuff, I immediately hit the pre-order button:
Sounds like another bestseller to me.
Believe it or not, this photo is not the work of a Photoshop artists.
Instead, it was taken by Robert Haas, who actually managed to capture a flock of flamingos standing in the shape of a flamingo for his latest book, called “Through the Eyes of the Condor”.
If this photo is any indication, Through the Eyes of the Condor is going to be an amazing addition to the collection of any coffee table book fan.

Ever wonder what would happen if you followed every rule in the Bible? (There are over 700 of them.)
Well, one man did, and he spent an entire year doing as the Bible does, and documenting his process in a book titled “The Year of Living Biblically”. (He also read the entire Encyclopedia Britannica for a book titled “The Know-It-All”.
I think this picture speaks for itself:
Though the interview with A. J. Jacobs is equally interesting.
Can you walk the talk?
Though human beings are “information omnivores”, constantly collecting, labeling, and organizing data, the shift from physical to digital is “mixing, burning, and ripping lives apart”. David Weinberger’s book, Everything Is Miscellaneous, examines this shift in the way we look at the world, and shows why categories are a thing of the past.
This one is definitely on my “To Read” list, and has gotten quite a bit of buzz around the blogosphere (and even the realworldosphere) as a new way of looking at the world. Are you ready?
Question: What section are you supposed to find this book on the shelves?
