    “I love John Waters and his pencil thin teeny mustache. This book is a fun deep dive of his earlier years. I got a good cackle during all his childhood chapters describing his bizarre behaviors and fixations as a child. I am about 50% through. “Why I Love Violence” is my favorite chapter so far.”
