Book Reviews of Found: The Best Lost, Tossed, and Forgotten Items from Around the World
Book Review: A PEEK INTO OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES....
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. I did wish that it was in color, but the pictures and the notes are so voyeristic, I almost felt guilty for reading them! My favorite was the one where the mom and son were writing sitcky notes to each other about these scrambled eggs that had been in the refrigerater. And a grocery list that included 1 lb of Heroin....oddly interesting. I noticed that some of the names looked as if they had been cut out and re-written, so I wonder if they changed the names to protect people's privacy? Anyway, this book stays on my coffee table, along with PostSecret, and everyone who comes over is instantly addicted to it...so its been borrowed many times..a good, interesting read.

Summary of Found: The Best Lost, Tossed, and Forgotten Items from Around the World
Discarded valentines. Ransom notes. To-do lists. Diaries. Homework assignments. A break-up letter written on the back of an airsickness bag. Whether they are found on buses, at stores, in restaurants, waiting rooms, parking lots, or even prison yards, these items give readers an uncensored, poignant, and often hilarious peek into other people's lives.
Found is chock-full of the latest and greatest of these finds, arranged in the style of the magazine, laying bare the tantalizing tales to be discovered in the trash we toss. By turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, Found is a mesmerizing tribute to everyday life and our eternal curiosity about our fellow human beings.
