Book Bombs and Andre Agasssi

I read about a great project called book bombs where artists create artistic books and then leave them in public places, sometimes for others to alter.  There were books on handmade paper left on telephone poles, at bus stops, in cars, on trees, everywhere.  These artists make historical and social statements with their work which is often mixed media and collaborative.  Very cool.

Also, recommended to me were the memoirs of Andre Agassi.  He begins by saying he has just dropped off his kids to school, and the book ends with him leaving to get them from school.  This is a very novel approach, no pun intended.
