Interesting. He mentions a wife in passing, but after his father’s death, stops his book. No mention of the wife again or kids. Interesting place to end his autobio. Maybe there will be a second book? Review to come.

Why are you telling us about the first time you masturbated while wearing your mother’s garter belt around your waist?!?!? Ok, I’m sorry, docking one star for this. Four, not five stars. Kinda gross.

I’m not crying, you’re crying!!! OM...that’s SO SAD. I need a hug. Like right now.

“The decision was made by not being made. lol didn’t say that the kitten had to go so the kitten stayed. ... As time went on the inevitable happened. My mother, so resistant for so long to getting a cat, grew more attached to Putsy than she was to her own children.” Ha! Yup, that’s how it goes!

“I both envied and pitied my sister, Susan. Being the only girl with five brothers has it’s equal portions of trial and privilege. She was at once madonna and demon, princess and pariah. We were boys. She was “a girl”. We worshipped and disrespected her, challenged and protected her.”

Well, that’s an ... interesting way to view the Virgin Mary... very Catholic I guess.

“‘They can take everything from you, one way or another,’ he (the author’s father) said to us, ‘but they can never take your integrity. Only you can give that away.’”
