LATEST BOOK FROM JACK
"Imagine speeding along the freeway while your driver, Ludwig Wittgenstein, dissects and reassembles the bumper-sticker 'wisdom' on passing cars. That's the kind of trip it is to read If You Can Read This."

Long before blogs, tweets, and sound-bites, people were telling the world how they felt in brief, blunt bursts of information plastered on the backs of their cars. Whether they're political or religious, passionate or proud, controversial or corny, these brightly-colored, boldly-lettered mini manifestoes are declarations of who we are, where we stand, and what we'd rather be doing. But as bestselling author and noted philosopher Jack Bowen reveals, there's much more to this pop-culture phenomenon than rolling one-liners and drive-by propaganda--no less, in fact, than a wise, funny, poignant, contentious, and truthful discourse on the human condition.
At once entertaining and enlightening, insightful and accessible, If You Can Read This explores the deeper meanings and messages, desires and dreams, warnings, wishes, and cries in the modern wilderness captured in the short and sweet communiqués that literally take the voice of the people to the streets. If you brake for big ideas, now's the time.
"In the sense of being pregnant with meaning, this book has a baby on board."
-Christopher Hitchens, New York Times Bestselling author and Vanity Fair columnist
