I am so glad that I read this. I knew nothing of Amanda Palmer (except that she is married to Neil Gaiman) and I don’t even know how I found this book. And I got it only because it was the only thing available through the library’s ebrary. And I have to say, that, we have nothing and everything in common. Women don’t know how to ask for what they want. And here? She talks about how to ask. She built community through her music, in a unique and incredible way and around the world there are people with nothing in common, except that they found her and for some reason became a part of her. And she did it by asking.

And she makes a plea. For “artists, creators, scientists, non-profit runners, librarians,strange-thinkers, starter-uppers, and inventors, to all people everywhere, who are afraid to take help in whatever form it is appearing:

Please take the donuts.”

Read it. You'll get why she says that.
