Author:
“Brian Fasterling was born and raised in New Orleans and now lives
with his wife, Kelly, in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the wind is so
strong some days it could blow out the sun. Though he has finally achieved ‘published
author’ status whose work lives on in perpetuity simply because it's on the
Internet, in past professional lives he drew street maps by hand, became a
commercial pilot and flight instructor, managed production of auto parts
catalogs, wrote software to publish telephone books, developed code for iOS
devices and was a sysadmin for engineering systems (all at different times, of
course). He has climbed an active volcano, scaled 14,000-foot peaks, been to 46
U.S. states, likes to travel internationally, totally digs vintage stereos,
plays numerous musical instruments kinda sorta well, enjoys
camping/biking/skiing/jogging, and just chillin' with a cold beer while
pondering the magnificent miracle that is life.”
Appraisal:
This book chronicles the author’s experience
as a patient as he concludes he has a health issue, has it checked out by
medical professionals, and eventually has a medical procedure to hopefully fix
things. While it doesn’t go into the kind of detail you might expect from your
doctor if you were experiencing this yourself, it does give some sense of the
experience, which is why I describe this as a memoir as well as the books
primary genre, humor. And boy, it is definitely funny. Near the end the author mentions
the old saying that “laughter is the best medicine” and he was certainly
self-medicating when he wrote this. If you aren’t laughing at least once on
every page I believe you’re in need of a medical procedure yourself. Probably a
sense of humor transplant.
