...just because he makes most other indie writers look bad by comparison. This is a funny, poignant and very raw collection of memoirs about his wife's recent pregnancy. It's sort of like an Erma Bombeck book for men, if Erma Bombeck would've had the guts to actually say what she really meant in her columns, in language anyone would normally use. Now while you youngsters are Googling who the hell Erma Bombeck was, let me tell you: This is a book anyone and everyone should read. It cuts down to the quick, the nitty-gritty, the icky side of reproduction.All I can say is that if Leo Tolstoy had written War and Peace like JD Mader wrote this book, a lot more people would get through that piece of firewood without complaining. Just imagine: Tolstoy swearing like a sailor and complaining about female bodily fluids. What's not to like about that picture?If you know Mader, buy it. If you don't know Mader, buy it. If you're a law enforcement official looking for Mader, he's using the name "Kimona McBusty" and is dancing three nights a week at the Body Cavity in Pasadena. Bring lots of quarters.
