Strangers Have the Best Candy

Winner of the Bookseller Diagram Prize for the Oddest Book Title of the Year. If you've ever had a conversation with a curious, red-haired traveling stranger named Meps, watch out! She probably wrote down what you said...and it's in these pages, twisted into a hilarious and provocative tale.In Meps' stories from a lifetime of talking to strangers, you'll meet some of the most interesting people on the planet, like:

• Carrie, the topless runner who popped out of the woods at Crater Lake with a bag of flour
• Tim, the globe-trotting pig farmer with the fake nose in his duffel bag
• Harley and Annabelle, the not-so-mediocre music makers and stars of Route 66
• Captain Craig, the Scourge of Lake Union and Environs and Whatever Else Needs Scourging
• Chicken Pox Man (but you'll wish you hadn't)

You'll learn what really goes into Happy Stew, where to find the Mythical Butter Divide, and why you should always say yes and always take all your stuff. Research published in the New York Times and the Huffington Post proves that talking to strangers is good for us. In Strangers Have the Best Candy, you'll learn how easy it is to get your own candy from strangers and why in the world you would want to.
