This is one of those books I read from time to time, where I start it one night and finish it the next day.

But this is also one of the very few books I can think of that will make you a better person for having read it. Not that I think I'm a better person.

Oh, hell. Just read this book. Tim Kreider draws the way I wish I could draw, but he writes even better than that.

ADDITIONAL COMMENT: I just read it again. I honestly wish I could put this book into the hands of every single person I love. It's profound yet concise, brilliant yet understated, moving yet funny, and everything I wish I could have written myself. AND I share every single sentiment, every value, elucidated in this book.
