I so enjoy listening to Roy Blount, Jr. on NPR, I was sure I would enjoy his books, but...This seemed to be more a rambling stream of consciousness, full of blurbs that usually weren't connected in anyway. I still am not sure why he hated his mother... but maybe he isn't either. There was a whole chapter on people who had Jr. tacked on to the end of their names. A LONG chapter. I had to skip most of it. I did read to the end, to see if I could figure out if he could figure out why he hated his mother. I hope he has much better books in him, because I was highly disappointed in this one.

Funny, quirky, truly original. I love listening to this guy on NPR and enjoy his writing as well.

This wasn't what I thought it would be, not my cup of tea.
