" And I Thought I Was Crazy!" (Book 20)

 Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.


    I brought this book from Strand Bookstore. It is a huge Book Store on 828 Broadway like right off of 12th street. https://www.strandbooks.com/hours-locations I was just walking by one day and I can't walk past a bookstore and not go in unless I'm in a hurry. I love books so much that when I'm in a hurry it pains me to just walk on by. I'll even take a picture of where it is so when I have some free time I can come back. 


Author:  Judy Reiser Illustrated by: Randall Enos

Title:   " And I Thought I Was Crazy!" (People Do the Darndest Things!) Quirks, Idiosyncrasies, and Meshuggaas. 

Main Characters:   There were no main characters but everyone that put their quirk, idiosyncrasies and Meshuggaas in this book quickly became a character.

Setting: This book doesn't have an exact setting it's more like each chapter is it's own setting.

Plot:   Understanding that maybe you're not as "crazy" as you thought

Personal Endorsement: I enjoyed this book because it shows that everyone has something going on and as people our thoughts carry into our actions. Also the thing you think is so "crazy" about you I guarantee if you read this book you'll end up thinking you might just be more sane than you think or you'll be glad you aren't alone. I'd also like to share some of my favorites with you. 

* My friend dries his toothbrush every morning because he hates when the excess water dribbles off the brush and leaves a white film on the side of the toothbrush rack. He's meticulously clean. He recently got married and now he dries his wife's toothbrush too because she refuses to do it.

* Every night I divide my nickels, dimes, quarters and pennies in four cans. At the end of the month I usually have from two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars worth of change. I go out and either buy myself something or do something stupid with it.

* I bite off the ends of hot dogs and throw them out before I eat them. I just don't like the look of them. I do the same with pickles. 

* I must have sex everyday at 6:15pm, after the sun goes down and before the moon comes up. That's when I enjoy it most. For me, it's like brushing my teeth-it's a must. I've buried a few husbands, I'm on my third marriage. 

* I iron only the front of my shirt and the sleeves because that's all that shows when I wear a suit. If I take the jacket off, I still have the vest on. It takes too much time to iron the whole shirt. 

* When I go fishing I always spit on my worm for good luck. My friend here used to catch all the fish so I spit on my worm once and I caught fish before he did so I kept doing it.

* I always break Q-tips before I use them. Somehow, I always think that germs would travel from one end to the other so by breaking them, they can't get across. 

* When I read, see or think about something, I will mentally type out the thought on my toes. My little toes control the shift keys and I use my big toes for the space bar. I'm real fast at it too.

Now I'm sharing something I personally resonated with. I think it's so nasty to use someone else's tooth brush. This book stated that no matter how much you wash or shake another person's toothbrush, the germs do not fall off. They cling. So you must NEVER use another person's toothbrush. Not even the toothbrush of someone you kiss. If you keep your toothbrush in the same holder as another person, however, the germs cannot jump onto your toothbrush. Even if their toothbrush is in the adjacent hole. But only if the bristles do not touch.

A Recovery Love Story

  Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️        There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste.      As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...
