Product Description
This is the fifth book of the series that began with "Mostly True Collected Stories & Drawings". Brian has continued the journey, weaving humor and poignance in his stories and drawings including 'No Regret' ("I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my children & I think to myself, this is one thing I'll never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long").

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love this crazy guy, June 6, 2009

By	Tracey "Tracey" (Topeka, KS) - See all my reviews

Somehow this guy captures every "real", unusual, or frightening tidbit from your own life and puts it into a calming, yet humorous (or perhaps amusing is a better term)text with illustrations and makes you realize that your life isn't the only one that is a bit whacked-out at times. Secrets of marriage revealed (not listening to your wife because you may need to murder her in her sleep if you actually process what is being said), secrets of life shared (taking time to listen to sleeping children breathing), etc. If you are looking for a good novel, this isn't it. If you are looking for a book you can read in 20 minutes or a page a day for 70 days, get a few chuckles, wonder a bit, and ponder for days to follow, this IS it.
