It's funny you started this thread; I just came across the book yesterday in a bookstore and couldn't put it down for a bit but also couldn't get myself to spend the 29.95 to buy it.

I just picked up the book on my lunch break. I needed some light reading for the train and this looked to be just the ticket. Hope it doesn't disappoint!

It definately kept me entertained for a couple of hours.... I'm kind of excited to try a few of these... although there are also a couple I cant really see myself doing... like the airport one... Seattle's airport is less than thrilling.. plus they will give you a ticket if they catch you loitering. *laughs *
