Miss Jean Louise, Stand Up. Your Father's

Whatever She Says To You, It’s Your Job Not To Let Her Make You Mad.

Writing Is Simply Something You Must Do. It's Rather Like Virtue In That It Is Its Own Reward.

I Just Thought You'd Like To Know I Can Read. You Got Anything Needs Readin' I Can Do It.

I Didn't Expect The Book To Sell In The First Place. I Was Hoping For A Quick And Merciful Death At The Hands Of Reviewers But At The Same Time I Sort Of Hoped That Maybe Someone Would Like It Enough To Give Me Encouragement. Public Encouragement. I Hoped For A Little, As I Said, But I Got Rather A Whole Lot, And In Some Ways This Was Just About As Frightening As The Quick, Merciful Death I'd Expected.
