this so-called autobiography of quote "lifetime audio freak dale cooper" was exactly what i needed to stop my reading slump. equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, i can't believe it follows his entire life up until the start of the series. i think everyone should read this because its probably one of the rare instances where a book is written *after* a movie or show and it's not completely terrible. its in fact amazing. complete with dale playing gay undercover and being *really good* at it to his decades-long fascination with what was really going on with JFK... i read this online because physical copies are not readily available and if they are they've been out of print for so long they are simply too expensive, but if i come across one I'm buying it in a heartbeat. i cant wait to read this again. made me much more obsessed with twin peaks than i already am.
