Greenpoint Press has published The Man Who Ate His Book, a compilation of excellent modern writings and art that is truly captivating. This recent publication is "The Best of ducts.org-Volume II." Ducts.org gives talented writers, artists and musicians, many of them undiscovered, a place to share their personal vision with people around the world.

The Man Who Ate His Book is edited by Jonathan Kravetz and Charles Salzberg whose dedication to selecting material for this volume will be appreciated by all who pick it up. I have read the book cover to cover, but the format allows readers to pick and choose from the individual genres which can also allow for a short, satisfying read. Who doesn't need a quick dose of poetry or fiction now and then?

The Man Who Ate His Book is in paperback, easy to take along; it has an introduction by Jonathan Kravetz and 58 individual pieces. Inspired writers and artists are featured and there are six sections that bring forth their talents; Essay, Memoir, Fiction, Humor, Poetry, Art Gallery.

This book delivers much more than a typical review volume. It has well executed, engaging pieces that have a very broad appeal. With more than 50 contributors from a multitude of backgrounds and professions, the diversity of writing makes it a book to relish.

Touching essays like Tattoo You by Carl Schinasi, insightful fiction including White Coat by Jennifer Hasenyager-Smith, comedy writings like Dan McCoy's College Envy and thoughtful poetry like Dear Rubens by David Kirby are just a very few of the works that round out this outstanding publication.

The Man Who Ate His Book, "The Best of ducts.org - Volume II" is a wonderful read; enjoy the opportunity to have creative thinkers unite in one publication.
