Several others are reading and not posting. I know someone in the book club who has read every book, but one. She still hasn't posted. [Eek!] Busy lady.

I'm moving right along. They say you have to have a story to write a memoir because they are the toughest books to get published...unless you were a president of the US! [Eek!]

I'd say Rick has a story alright. It's just so sad. The war and alcoholism the brunt of his dad's problems.

Rick insinuates the war is what caused him to drink so much? Do you agree with that?
