I read this reassuringly-titled book on the airplane, on the way to visit my family. Detailing as it does the interior life of a horrible mess-up (who messes up his life, and messes up his family, and messes up all manner of things...while blissfully and drunkenly void of self-awareness) ...it is not the most cheerful book to read on your way to visit family. But it is an interesting peek into the combination of grandness and weakness and self-pity that leads the protagonist into doing what from the outside would seem inexplicably crazy stuff.
