Book
In 2003, Wallace wrote the book Join Me about how he started the movement. A quote on the cover of some editions is "It's not a cult; it's a collective" — because Wallace didn't want to associate Join Me with the negative connotations of the word cult. Nevertheless, as his book's sub-title is, "The true story of a man who started a cult by accident" it would seem he has grudgingly admitted that it has distinct similarities to one.
A short follow-up was later published, titled Random Acts of Kindness: 365 Ways To Make the World A Better Place.

Famous quotes containing the word book:
“Paper is cheap, and authors need not now erase one book before they write another. Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It’s a hard feeling when everyone’s in a hurry to talk to somebody else, but not to talk to you. Sometimes you get a feeling of need to talk to somebody. Somebody who wants to listen to you other than “Why didn’t you get me the right number?””
—Heather Lamb, U.S. telephone operator. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“A book that is shut is but a block.”
—Thomas Fuller (1654–1734)
