My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (Pantheon Graphic… di David Heatley
Seemed a bit juvenile and shallow.
This book was exhausting to read. I truly began to loath the author halfway through for his self-righteousness, narcissism, and cringe-inducing faith. I have never read a more self-centered memoir and that is saying something given the nature of the genre. I gave this three stars because I did learn some interesting things about AA and I enjoyed reading about his dis functional family
A narcissist creates a monumentally narcissistic work about his narcissism. The back cover tells me this is hilarious, but all I felt was anger and exhaustion as I read. But then I decided, fuck that asshole, I'm not letting him have that kind of power over me, and let it go. He can try to live with his crap; I don't have to.

Heatley's book is a memoir in comic form. He covers some big topics: sex, race, mother, father, family tree, and fatherhood, and although he is oftentimes brutally revealing about his own life, the mixture of humor and honestly keeps the book from drifting too far into either "big themes" or navel gazing territory.
