This book is just a book written by an ex-smoker himself, who developed a kickin' method of helping people to stop smoking. His success rate is around 90% - versus "cold turkey" which is about 10%. That's about it.

Oh no, it's not religious at all. It does save lives however.

I'm very glad it worked for you. We took the seminar and it didn't work for us, nor for some others there. We did end up doing it on our own.

| Re: Your latest book purchases I can't believe it's time for me to post about this again, but I've just come home from the booksellers' trade show, where I got dozens of new books. I won't do a full list here since it's slightly offensive. I feel like a glutton! Among the titles I got are Richard Russo's new book, Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals, the latest by Elizabeth Kostova, the new collection of Sookie Stackhouse stories, the new one from Julie Powell (of Julie and Julia fame), the next book from the woman who wrote Eat, Pray, Love and the new Pete Dexter. The highlight for me was the author breakfast where we got to hear Russo, Foer and another author, Timothy Egan, talk about their new books. We also got signed copies of the books. Richard Russo is a big hero of mine, so I was thrilled to get to meet him. It'll take me a year to read all of these books and I'll be posting about them in the "What are you reading?" thread!

| Re: Your latest book purchases Crit, you lucky girl, were you able to get Eric in pink spandex too.  ETA: I just got Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan and Libba Bray's "Going Bovine" I really do like YA fiction, even though I am far from that. |

| Re: Your latest book purchases This is absurd in light of my last post in this thread, but I got a pile of new books this week. I broke down and bought Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger and John Irving's new one, Last Night in Twisted River. I also got a bunch from Amazon used, including one by Lauren Willig - it's the latest in her French Resistance spy novels. I got three cookbooks, including The New Spanish Table, which has me salivating. I bought Pete Hamill's autobiographical Downtown: My Manhattan and his North River. I also got The King's English by Betsy Burton, which is kind of the adventures of an indie bookseller. I actually did buy some things for Christmas gifts too...they weren't ALL for me
