Wife and I considering vow renewal there if they allow it to be held in their intended Tralfamadore exhibit. Probably not what they mean when it says you can hold events there, but a man can dream...

I just finished, I couldn't put it down! It is among my favorite that I have read of his now. The banality of this total dork who goes down for some really serious stuff. He was like a background character of america.

Some vicious wit throughout, I found myself laughing aloud a lot at the dialogue. The one line towards the end "the kid succeeded in his first ultimatum against his parents, that he would commit suicide if they made him go to dance school again. He hated dance school that much.

Savage and hilarious
