“Fragments of Reality” is a deep book of fragmented thoughts, random memories, and moments of questions racing through this philosophical mix and match prose.  Poetry and essays grace the pages to make the reader stop and consider so many issues of life, some often not even an average thought of a typical mind, yet the author still somehow makes you stop and think about them.

Far from your average book, “Fragments of Reality” brings you to the depths of the author’s soul and makes you reach into the depths of your own.  Poems of love, beauty, grace and sadness are amongst essays that speak of the meaning of life and the simple idea of being.  Simplicity often overcomes complex issues, making the reader understand with few written words but so intense you must stop to ponder.

This book would be a wonderful gift to that deep thinker in your life.  Perhaps a graduation gift to someone special who may want to begin their journey in life with a deep, meaningful start.  Simply not your average book, it’s a deep, philosophical journey that takes you on a trip you will always remember.  I guarantee you will walk away with thoughts deeper than you ever have reached before.
