story people rule.......2006-07-21
I bought this book for a friend after he discovered the website and loved all the drawings and stories. I don't think anyone can escape from being touched by them. There is something in there for everyone, for every situation. I highly recommend you give it to someone you love today.
Silly, Witty and Wise.......2003-07-26
This little book defies classification. It is a collection of goofy-looking, childlike drawings, on one page, and enigmatic strange little aphorisms, on the facing page, all the way through the book. The pages aren't numbered and there are no chapters, so you just have to wander around and experience whatever you happen to find. Whatever time you spend with this book will be worth it.
Author Brian Andreas is one who thinks outside the box. He draws outside the box, too. And you will soon realize, outside the box is a very good place to be. A place to consider what is really important and meaningful: Love, relationships, children, magic. These are the important things.
The childlike manner is deceptive. This is a book of serious wisdom and serious art, with a silly and childlike appearance. If you can play outside the box, you will love this book, and you will want to give it to all your out-of-the-box friends.I can't recommend Mostly True too highly! Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber
Warm and Fuzzy.......2002-08-16
I saw this book in a boutique in Paducah, KY about 4 years ago. Flipping through a few pages, I needed no more convincing. I purchased the book, read it and placed it in our bookcase. Within the last four years, I have had two children and moved to a different town. I was unpacking some boxes the other day when I found this book. There I sat on the floor, reading through it. I couldn't stop until I was done. I logged on to find more of Brian Andreas's work. It is amazing. So simple, yet so touching. You have to read it!
Mostly Great.......2002-01-01
I wish I had discovered this fascinating work earlier. The stories and drawings help me put things in a perspective that simplifies the complex. It makes me appreciate my surroundings and to understand the value of family and friendships. What a great way to express ones thoughts, feelings, fears and enlightenment. It is impossible to find just one favorite story.
The Men Women Want..........2001-07-01
Brian Andreas (and Robert Downey, Jr. on Ally McBeal) have made it more and more difficult for women to just settle for any ole' guy...we now expect men to show more heart, soul, and sensitivity. Buy this for the man in your life and ask him to spend one hour to read the whole thing and see if he "gets" it!
Average customer rating:
- An inspirational masterpiece like no other!
- My favorite book ever.
- Brian Andreas is my new favorite poet.
- Fun to read through and ponder.

Book Description
This is the second book, first published in 1994. It includes over 80 stories and drawings. Many of our collectors have said this book expands on the laughter and lunacy of the first book, Mostly True. It includes such favorites as 'Angels of Mercy' ("Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life") and 'True Things' ("they came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday").
Customer Reviews:
An inspirational masterpiece like no other!.......1998-09-25
One of my favorite books from Brian Andreas' StoryPeople series. And just like his others, I constantly find myself drifting between the lines and beyond the pages -- only to discover that they let me reflect upon my own thoughts and feelings.
Much in the way of Dr. Seuss' or Shel Silverstein's books, Still Mostly True epitomizes the simple things in life -- like love and laughter and memories and dreams.
Maybe the best way to sum it up would be like this:
No words can describe this book better than the words YOU use to describe the way life feels. Remember that song that you loved when you were a junior in high school?... It's like that. You bring your life to his stories.
My favorite book ever........1998-09-22
Still Mostly True is the greatest book I have ever had the pleasure of reading- it cheers me up when I am sad, inspires me when I am blocked, and reminds me to look toward the little things in life for happiness. I appreciate Brian Andreas more than he will ever know for helping me, my mother, and my roomates at college through good, bad, happy and sad times. I only wish he had fifteen books like this one. I would never stop smiling!
Brian Andreas is my new favorite poet........1998-07-21
I have long been a collector of poetry, from Blakely and Browning to Rod McKuen (who I enterviewed twice for a literary magazine), but it has been a long time since I was so impressed with a poet. Brian Andreas is a sensitive soul who captures thoughts with humor and truth; he seems to say exactly what you have always thought, but never could quite find the right words yourself. Every page of this book is profound and exquisitely true.
Fun to read through and ponder........1998-07-03
A fun collection of poems, drawings and statements. Many will apply to things going on in all satges of adult life such that I found inspiration for a number of things depending on when I reread it and what was going in my life at the time.
