So im reading this book called Youth In Revolt, its a great book done in the picaresque style (a style i love and may even live my life in). The book is from the 90's but still great to this day, the story follows a young kid, Nick Twisp, on his journey into his teen years and all of the hilarity that ensues. The writing is great, the quips are funny and it has enough fresh smart humor to make fell not so bad for laughing at the dirty dark humor. Its a pretty good escape from the rigors of medschool life, and since i've given up all TV, besides CNN and the weather channel, im pretty happy to just laugh and reminisce on my own early teen years.
One of my favorite lines from the book is an interaction between a pious old woman and Nick's mom while the family is on vacation at a christian trailor park. It was the first time i laughed outloud while reading a book. lol

" Mrs. Clarkelson, re-faced, said to Mom, "Look into your soul, sinner. And you will see why God punished you with this child."
"Up yours, bitch," replied Mom with cogent succinctness. "
