5.0 out of 5 stars
awesome grab bag of hilarious stories.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Distortions (Paperback)
I first read this book about twelve years ago and I still go back to it regularly because it makes me laugh, although some of the stories are serious as well. My favorite stories are "Vermont" and "Weekend." If you want to know what the '70s were really like, then here's where you should start.
