I read this book so long ago.
It belonged to my boyfriend, Michael Schneider. We were on a road trip from New Orleans to Milwaukee, where he grew up. We were going to visit his family. I was meeting his family for the first time. We had car trouble and ended up getting stuck in Effingham, Illinois. I read this book while we waited for car repairs. It was hilarious and I laughed out loud a lot. It saved my sanity.
Here's the poem i wrote about that trip, which includes a bit about this book.

I remember there was smoke
(or was it steam?)
pouring from under the hood,
and we had to pull
onto the dark shoulder of the interstate
and wait for a tow truck to appear.
You were angry—
you who were usually so good natured and jovial—
you cursed your bad luck
and flipped off the car
you had bought used
only a few m...more
