This is a book that you can leave by your bed, pick up and read a few paragraphs when you don't want to get into anything too long or complicated, entertain yourself for a few minutes, put it down and come back to it a month later. That's how I read this one. If you like George Carlin, you'll like this book.
My favorite passage, a startling example of descriptive technique, entitled:
"Not Martha Stewart"
"Vinny had just squeezed off three really vicious, warm, partially liquid farts and was now trying with all his might to suck down from the back of his nose a huge gob of hardened snot that felt as big as a human embryo. Ignoring the dog shit encrusted under his fingernails from several weeks earlier, he reached deep into his throat, pulled loose some partially digested food, swallowed it and again continued to make hamburger patties for the kids."
