I may have missed that thread.

My library is ordering the book.

What was your synopsis?

Thanks.

Well, you see, the Spartans get a lot of run in the book, but they make an early exit, as usual. There's no mention of Barbara Streisand, apart from her fans burning some couches toward the end.

I did find myself asking, "dude is a good drummer - but what does that have to do with literature??"...and then suddenly I had a new batch of toilet paper...

Hi pussy.

It's about a drummer from a band who sucks, but he at least has a backbone and can stand up to those that think he is a spineless, weak, pedo loving vagina.

So, in short, you wouldn't be interested.

Actually a very entertaining read, all biases aside.

dude comes across as quite cynical and anti-american but considering what he was struggling with it's not surprising.........the letters to his drug dealing imprisoned friend got tiresome

Thanks Moth.

What was the main crux of the book? What was your overall opinion?
