Stoned, Naked, and Looking in My Neighbor's Window: The Best Confessions from Grouphug.Us

The Internet is ""the Shangri-La of anonymous, voyeuristic gratification,"" which, among other things, includes purging your guilt and 'fessing up to sins both trivial and grave. In September 2003, Jeffrey founded a Web site where people could do just that, and the result was a hit. Now it has spawned this engrossing collection of Web site confessions. Some of the entries are specific: one contributor remembers watching, and laughing at, a kid in elementary school who ran right into a soccer goal post while looking the other way; another admits that he (or she?) grabs ""girls rear-ends"" and says, ""Hey Jessica,"" then apologizes and says they looked just like someone else. Others are vague (""After years of contemplation, I really think that I may be an atheist. It scares me a lot""), or not really confessions at all (""I love porno like a fat kid loves cake""; ""I have a velvet robe and smoke a pipe w/bubbles I feel unstoppable when I wear it sic""). Organized into categories like Cheat, Laugh, Kink and Use, this book presents group therapy at its most basic.
