Challenge 11: A Book You Started but Never Finished

Donna's Book: "Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy: A True Story of Discovery, Acting, Health, Illness, Recovery, and Life" by Dirk Benedict (Square One Publishers, 1987)

As with the book I chose for the previous challenge, I bought this because I was going to a signing event with Dirk Benedict and wanted a signed copy.  I meant to read it all before I went to the event, but got slightly distracted by Page 13.  It took me quite a while to get passed page 13!!  And so I never finished it.  I will do so for this challenge!

Comments:

I loved this! The overall message seems to be that there's no point trying to search for the meaning of life or of living your life according to some code or another. There is no code; it's just about you. But it's also about consequences. However you choose to live your life will have consequences for you and for the world around you. Accept those, and you've pretty much got it.

The other reason I liked this is because it shows Dirk's intelligence, depth and insight. He's not the cardboard cutout, two-dimensional characters that you sometimes see him portray on the screen, but much more than that. Someone that I'd like to get to know for HIM!


Oh, and page 13. Definitely worth reading for page 13!!
