I can't stop looking at it and thinking about it! With just the photographs and such little text, it says so much and I find it all so fascinating. There were so many questions in my mind as I read (much like some that you pose about Jason and Danny)...what was going on in his life? Who are these people he eats with? Why are some drinks included and others (presumably) omitted? How did he feel about this food he ate? On some of his days, I think, that's ALL he ate? And then on others I marvel at how much he ate. I find myself looking at the times he eats and taking comfort in some of his habits that are similar to mine: often eating breakfast late, his spinach @ home = my steamed broccoli @ home, his late-night cereal obsession resembles my late-night Ben & Jerry's obsession, etc. It makes me want to sit down with Tucker Shaw, have a beer and talk about food/eating habits. <ul> <li><em>I so agree! :) It is rather amazing how much is revealed in such simple pictures. I love catching the background info- like Golden Girls on tv... --McAuliflower</em></li></ul> I LOVE this book! I can’t stop looking at it and thinking about it!

Quite the impressive journey Dan. It’s fun watching you change shape- the final shot with the close up of your face is most impressive. This looks like weight loss for data-lovers :)

Tucker Shaw’s book is made distinctive by his pictures of his food. It’s much more entertaining to go through a visual diary than a written one, given that it’s easier to skim that way.

I will have to look for it next time I'm in a good book store. Don't you just love Powell's? I good live there days. I'm glad you had a great "read-in." We all need those every once in awhile.
