1,000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names
A charming, thought-provoking, hand-lettered book for fans of The Book of Awesome and Wreck This Journal
They amaze us and hurt us, bring us to tears and make us laugh, delight us and keep us up at night: feelings that we know only too well, but which have eluded the English lexicon for so long. In 1,000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names, author Mario Giordano catalogs those familiar emotions.
Perfect for cocktail parties, quiet reflection, daily inspiration, or travel entertainment, this delightful compendium is broken up into helpful sections that will fit your every mood, such as “Afternoon Feelings,” “Nerd Feelings,” “Heaven-help-me Feelings,” or the somewhat more nebulous “Tangerine Feelings.” Or try opening a page at random to help kiss writer’s block goodbye. Don’t forget to add your own feelings in the back of the book (before they get away!) and share with others.
MY REVIEW: You won't be able to escape yourself in "1,000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names" by Mario Giordano. We're all in there somewhere--along with everyone we've ever met. The range of emotions, shared in random, right-on thoughts, is amazing. Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop until I read it through. I have picked it back up numerous times--sometimes just reading where it fell open, and other times looking up specific topics in the index. The index itself is an entertaining, revealing read. The colorful, casual red, white & blue look of the book is relaxed and inviting, as is the varied, hand-lettered look of the text. Thoroughly charming and appealing, "1000 Feelings" is also thought-provoking and enlightening. A wonderful book to give as a gift and also to keep for yourself.
