How to Stay Married
Notes
This was indeed a crazy book; not that the events are so outlandish, but that the author actually wrote and published it. It's not a how-to - it's a memoir about his wife's affair and how they handled it. Harrison Scott Key is a humor writer (thus far?) and so makes a lot of jokes, but this is pretty crushing. Highly recommended. I sped thru it in an afternoon and I'm dying to talk to people about it now.

Quotes
And the voice of the LORD thundereth marvelously from the whirlwind and said, "Stop googling."Quoted on August 9, 2024
Possessing all the necessary virtues of a future Church of Christ preacher, including testicles and a love of my own voice, I had no choice but to give the sermon. I'd heard thousands of sermons in my young life, maybe too many. I have always felt pity for people who did this for a living. You try writing and delivering a new TED talk or two every week for ten or twenty or thirty years, based on a book nobody reads, baring your inmost thoughts for a crowd of friendlies who've heard it all before and strangers who'd rather be washing a cat.Quoted on August 9, 2024
