Why read it?
1 author picked Eight Whopping Lies and Other Stories of Bruised Grace as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love laughing, particularly at our own human foibles. In this book of essays, in fact, in all of Brian Dole’s essays, he captures with both love and humor the peculiarities of what makes us human.
