A Common Pornography - Kevin Sampsell

Tonight I started a book that was suggested by my best friend that I admire the most, the book is titled A Common Pornography by Kevin Sampsell. The author was actually born and raised in the North West, and even got the chance to meet him at Powell's book store, (friend took me because she wanted to meet him and talk about his new book released not that long ago.) So I thought it was the most ideal book to choose at this time!

So far, about twenty-five pages in, its been a page or so of memoirs with simple titles detailing his life, starting at an early age. Seems to be vivid memories of his childhood, each one showing some small idea of what it was like for him as a kid. He seemed to believe his life was normal, but it was a little more unsettling at most. Details on how his mother has children with three different men, so he has a lot of half siblings, the youngest out of them all.  But so far I really do enjoy his way of writing, for being such short stories of memories, it really feels like I was there watching it all, which makes it more interesting to read.

Granted future notice, I'll find better ways to update you on this book!
With that, I grant you a goodnight.
