by Leonard Pitt

What makes reading Pitt's book so enjoyable is not only following the intellectual leaps he makes between his many and varied topics of interest. It is also seeing the creative connections among apparently unrelated subjects such as Louis XIV, Elvis Presley, and the Hula Hoop. From start to finish, Pitt's memoir is a lively autodidactic romp through a life well-lived in both mind and body."—Kirkus —
