The Wander Society

　　這位加拿大藝術家因《做了這本書》系列而暢銷全球多年，不但作品常踞各國暢銷排行榜，為紐約時報、華盛頓郵報、波士頓環球報等等許多知名媒體插畫，更任教於大學，並不時受邀開設研習課，分享自己在日常生活中激發創意，並逐步實踐的過程。她曾表示自己的書，就像安伯托‧艾可所說的開放作品，與讀者互動並最終由讀者來完成。

　　Wander Society就像是一個祕密結社，每位讀者都是社員，將收到許多不同指令，以新鮮的方式探索自己所處環境。漫步，是不抱目的、也不設目的地，自由閒走隨興遊逛，但其中卻有顛覆性的創造力量。

　　小編推薦，這本書不但可以自己玩，也很適合組成讀書會，或者作為活動的題材，和同伴一起結社交換心得！

　　Several years ago when Keri Smith, bestselling author of Wreck This Journal, discovered cryptic handwritten notations in a worn copy of Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass, her interest was piqued. Little did she know at the time that those simple markings would become the basis of a years-long, life-changing exploration into a mysterious group known only as The Wander Society, as well as the subject of this book.

　　Within these pages, you’ll find the results of Smith’s research: A guide to the Wander Society, a secretive group that holds up the act of wandering, or unplanned exploring, as a way of life. You’ll learn about the group’s mysterious origins, meet fellow wanderers through time, discover how wandering feeds the creative mind, and learn how to best practice the art of wandering, should you choose to accept the mission.
