I bought Wreck This Journal by Keri Smith 6 months ago. I followed the first instruction, "crack the spine," immediately and it bothered me so much I put the book away. The perfectionist in me couldn't handle that bent spine sitting on my bedside table.
Today I dug it out and decided to play. Things got a little out of hand when I decided the page wasn't burning fast enough and encouraged it to go a little faster. I burned through 4 pages of the book, but I managed to get everything back under control AND keep the smoke alarm from going off. SUCCESS. I suppose the only thing that would have been better is if I'd been forced to douse the book in water to save my apartment.
