Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder by John Waters
4.0
I wasn't really a John Waters fan, but after reading this I definitely am. I remember seeing Pink Flamingos 30+ years ago and thinking, as most people probably do, "eww gross" and also "WTF?". I didn't really get into Hairspray, but my son liked it when he was younger so he used to watch it all the time. I had no idea he had made as many movies as he has.
The book was hilarious and probably more so because I did it on audio and he was the narrator. He talks fast so he packs in lots of details and his inflection just adds to it. You can almost picture the eyerolls sometimes. Being an eccentric myself, I felt an immediate bond with Mr. Waters, even though I don't feel like I would enjoy his movies, I do enjoy his creativity and I'm looking forward to reading/listening to some/all of his other books.
