First Lesson in Life: You are Not the Wall

Source: A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz
This is a long first novel by contemporary standards at almost 600 pages. I'm up to page 70ish. I have no idea what the book is about, but I'm laughing out loud at the lines. It's the memoior of a man whose father is the most loathed man in all of Australian and whose uncle (a famous outlaw) is the biggest hero. It's insanity. I've got three more quotes already. Stay tuned.
