In a light similar to the best selling books, Tuesdays with Morrieand Who Moved My Cheese, "Pillow Talk Consciousness: Intimate Reflections on America's 100 Most Interesting Thoughts and Suspicions"alsoshines and conveys a sobering yet captivating story.
 
"Pillow Talk Consciousness" is a story about the social and political discourse which frames the lives and conversations of Americans today.
 
The story revolves around the daily thoughts and suspicions of an average American couple at this nexus of the 21st Century. The story's format is designed to draw the reader into an unsuspecting mindset of self-reflection. True to the adage "we are what we think", the book --- in its totality --- paints a vibrant picture of American life based on unusually candid adult dialogues.  Upon reflecting on the book's 100 topics and dialogues, the reader comes away with an amazingly holistic sense of the complexity and variety of the thought that frames American life and American conversation today --- thought that undoubtedly has set the stage for America's ultra-polarized social and political climate.
 
The book's prologue, through an insightful view of two naturally fascinating qualities (pillow talk and human consciousness), "sets the table" for the reader to fully enjoy the dialogues that convey an increasingly revealing narrative of life in America. The prologue establishes the premise for and the intrinsic value of "candor without rancor" as a powerful yet often misunderstood and seldom used form on human expression.
 
The profile of the book's two characters, Paul and Paulette, paints an engaging image of early 21st century America. The image portrays a diverse society highly influenced by individual life experiences --- including politics, friends, life style, genealogy, occupation, social status, family structure, religious affiliation, geographical residency and educational background. The profile also offers the reader a connection to both the genuineness and the natural prejudices found in today's society and reflected within the book's entertaining and sometimes provocative dialogues.
 
The idea of 100 dialogues on 100 different topics may seem daunting at first glance. However, as the reader breezes through each dialogue (with the opportunity to make notes on his or her own point-of-view on each topic) it soon becomes apparent that the topics are quite pertinent to life in the 21st century. The reader similarly begins to appreciate how his or her own genealogy, family structure, geographical residency, friends, life style, occupation, educational background and etc. have contributed to shaping his or her personal points-of-view.
 
When viewed separately, the prologue, the profiles and the dialogues are surely worth reading. But, when observed within the context of the sobering yet captivating story that is being told about "us" as Americans and how we view ourselves, others and our world, Pillow Talk Consciousnesscan easily be seen as a book for the ages..
