    About this ebook

    Based on the popular, hilarious website of the same name, I am Neurotic is a smorgasbord of anonymous confessions and wacky photographs that reveal people’s deepest neuroses. Author Lianna Kong has collected the best neuroses from the blog, as well as previously unreleased submissions, demonstrating how neurotic behavior is highly amusing, shocking at times, and ultimately a great human equalizer.

      Oh this one was a hoot!Lianna Kong started her blog "to create an entertaining procrastination tool...and provide a space where my friends and I could anonymously confess our neuroses." Soon people she didn't know were sending in their quirks. And a year later, they've been compiled into this book - i am neurotic. Everything included in the book was sent into the blog. Each neuroses is accompanied by a colour photo illustration by Matthew Stacey.Well, like what Luanne?Aligning the strings of people's hoodies.Throwing out your pen if someone else touches it.Alphabetizing your canned goods.Tacks must be in rainbow order. Crayons in heatscale order.Aligning the hangers in a department store.Alternately - having something out of place, so it's not 'perfect'.Eggs must always be in pairs in the carton.Oh there's a lot more. But I saw myself when I read this one - "Whenever I buy a new book, I have to bury my nose in between a few random pages and take in a deep breath."Just a fun book to leaf through. Anyone who likes Postsecret will appreciate i am neurotic.
