Ate by Eight: The Costume of Magic

By Pat Shents

Are you reading this? Right now? Why?

This book may be nonsense, magic, or something in between. A cosmic soup of koans, quacks, jokes, chirps, and mysteries that fall off the page and flap around your brain like a raven in clown shoes.

Inside:

Thoughts that don't try too hard.Questions that answer themselves.Answers that ask for a nap.Frogs, bones, trees, soup, ducks, and you.

ATE BY EIGHT is for anyone who forgot to ask why and wants to forget again. Read it forwards, backwards, upside down, or just stare at it lovingly and pretend. Either way, it already read you.

Warning: Side effects may include laughter, confusion, ego molting, and/or enlightenment by accident.
