The worst advice I ever received from my dad was to play by the book.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People wanted more advice. So I finally thought I could totally put this advice into a book.
Some of the best advice I've gotten was from William Hurt and Harry Connick Jr. I've really learned a lot from both of them.
But mostly, it's a book about my relationship with my father.
Even the worst book can give us something to think about.
I've always been a rule-follower. Even when I was a kid, I tried to do everything by the book.
And my father always took me to the library. We were both book addicts.
My parents would read those books to me as well but they used to make me starving when I was a kid because they were always eating ham sandwiches with the crusts off and drinking ginger beer.
Before trying a novel I wrote a couple of plays.
I didn't want to keep forcing myself to grind out book after book.
I grew up in a completely bookless household. It was my father's boast that he had never read a book from end to end.
