I read it during a stay in a psychiatric facility. I had checked myself in because I felt unsafe towards myself.
I couldn't focus reading anything else. I could focus reading this. It even made me smile. Then even laugh.
The author killed himself before he ever saw it published. It's a remarkable book. In addition to helping me get out of my head for a bit, reading it facilitated a desire to make / build / write something good and live to see it exist in the world.
That was 2006. Happy to say I'm still here, still trying.
