Crackpot: The Obsessions of John Waters by John Waters

4.0

my dad owned a bookstore when I was a kid and when it went out of business all the books he wanted to keep were in our basement, where me and my brother slept. anyway, I remember a couple of books that my dad gave me to read when I was an adolescent and this was one of them and that is why today I am adult obsessed with obsession and john waters' aesthetic of weirdoness. just bought this book for $2 on the street even though obviously my dad has a copy somewhere, and it's really fun to read again. And back to John Waters and obsession, I like how in Pecker the main character thanks his sister Li'l Chrissy for teaching him that life is nothing if you're not obsessed. Words to live by.
