Doodling books while I look for leaves...



Searching for some good leaves for the next Bent Objects image.
Only the best leaf will do for my Bent Objects visitors.

Meanwhile, while I'm coming up with an idea involving leaves, several people have asked about signed copies of the book. I'll tell you the truth, trying to arrange appearances (speaking/book signing) is not something I have enjoyed. My talk/signing at The Indiana Historical Society December 5th will be it for now.
But I have another possibility for you-
I'm offering autographed copies that I'll gladly personalize,
with doodles (I don't draw, I doodle)
of all sorts for $40 + shipping.


U.S. shipping is $4, Canada and Mexico- $7, and everywhere else is $15.

I'm also still offering personalized, signed book plates for just $2 each total.

Use the "Donate" button on the sidebar to pay the $40 plus appropriate shipping.
You can email me, (Go ahead, don't be scared, I'm a fairly nice fella).

Wish me luck with the leaves!
I'm drinking lots of caffeine and thinking about Autumn! Such hard work.

Bitchin Lifestyle has an interview of me here. Very cool site.

Hi Terry,

Long time follower, first time writer :) I've been a fan ever since a psychiatry resident introduced me to your work back in 1/08 (the pill bottle fixing a brain). I was on a medical school rotation and laughing my way through your blog definitely made that rotation pass quickly. I've been hooked ever since and have gotten my husband (yes, we're "that" couple that sits on the same side of the bench) and friends addicted to your work too.

My bucket list...
1. Meet you (ok, that's a bit much, but you do seem pretty cool)
2. learn Italian
3. SCUBA dive Australia/New Zealand
4. Own a vineyard that makes awesome wine

Thanks for making me laugh,
Beth T.

He's saving his allowance to buy the book, but I thought I would try to win it for him. here's 3 things on my bucket list: run a marathon, teach in Africa, visit every national park in USA. thanks!

Hi, love your work, and happy to find your blog.
I'm a doc, and when a colleague sent me the link to your 'RealLemon' boudoir scenario, I spilt tea on my keyboard.
And you probably get this all the time, but from the subject in that e-mail, I wondered who is Bent and why would a nice Swedish guy object? Don't worry, I 'got' it with the first paperclip.

And thanks for this: makes me feel lucky since I've done a few things on others' lists: I've dived in Australia, backpacked across Europe, and am typing this beside my paper OED.
But we all have our own buckets:

Bucket a la me:
1. Go truffle-hunting in France with a pig
2. Take a picture of the Pyramids at Giza at dawn
3. Say something on my deathbed to drive my brother crazy, like, 'The Kohinoor diamond is in my safety deposit box in Zurich: the number is {----- flat line -----]

Thanks again, looking forward to reading other buckets.
