Found: The Best Lost, Tossed, and Forgotten Items from Ar | Davy Rothbart
4 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Discarded valentines. Ransom notes. To-do lists. Diaries. Homework assignments. A break-up letter written on the back of an airsickness bag. Whether they are found on buses, at stores, in restaurants, waiting rooms, parking lots, or even prison yards, these items give readers an uncensored, poignant, and often hilarious peek into other people's lives. By collecting them in his hit magazine, Found (and its companion website, www.foundmagazine.com), Davy Rothbart has bewitched the nation with a surprising window into its heart and soul and turned his many readers into an army of sharp-eyed finders. Found is chock-full of the latest and greatest of these finds, arranged in the style of the magazine, laying bare the tantalizing tales to be discovered in the trash we toss. By turns heartbreaking and hysterically funny, Found is a mesmerizing tribute to everyday life and our eternal curiosity about our fellow human beings.

Passing this on for the next person to find a treasure of a book. It's amazing what people write down, make notes about & leave for others. Those things get thrown away... and then found! A great book for the voyeur in all of us, put together before we all started creeping on social media.

Are you #missing something naughty? 😯Perhaps you can find it in here. What I love about Found is Davy Rothbart's heart. He's such a good guy, and Found is always done with kindness. #maybookflowers

ValerieAndBooks Very cool! I remember when I lived in Ann Arbor several years ago, he got a lot of local press because he was a native and lived there at the time (I don't know if he still does). 7y

The Found podcast launched today! I've always been a huge fan of Found. How can you not be? Sad, funny, heartbreaking, quirky. I'm an even bigger fan of Davy Rothbart. I love everything he's written to pieces- he has such a big heart! Glad I have this to listen to. Giant storms a-brewing here.
