I'm not lying when I say I've always felt a kinship with people on the fringe. They are certainly more interesting than your average person.
Out in paperback this week from Adams Media is FREAK NATION: A Field Guide to 101 of the Most Odd, Extreme and Outrageous American Subcultures by Kate Stevens. Kate Stevens is a pen name.
This book looks like an opportunity to let your freak flag fly and live vicariously through people as diverse as Tree Huggers, NASCAR fans, and Disney cast members. Now, instead of laughing and pointing at people who don't fit into society's definition of "normal," now you can educate yourself as to why each subculture exists and possibly even get a little freaky yourself.
And, if you like fun and, yes, freaky, books, check out Adams Media's website. And, check them out on twitter: @adamsmedia .
