I didn't think anyone would like this book, honestly. I wrote it as is. A collection of flash fiction stories based on personal experiences.
Some people seem to like it, others didn't. It depends.
For 4 days straight now the book has been No.1 on the Amazon's list of 90-min humor and entertainment short reads list.(free books).
Today, someone left a review saying she liked it.
The idea was inspired by Robert Fulghum's "All I need to know I learned in kindergarten." So if you like that type of short tales, somewhat philosophical and humorous, this is the book for you.
The book is available for download until 13 April.
I recently found out Nature, the scientific journal, has a series of sf shorts that are being published together with the research. Please [redacted] my last e-mail was one of the latest and I enjoyed this short story, that starts as something, but ends quite differently.
