- Bowling Trophies, Paul Newman, Story of O, Papier Mache
Another sad, moving, funny slice of midwest american weirdness from Richard god rest his weary soul.. Think Coen Brothers meet Woody Allen over a couple of bongs. Basically it's about three brothers who go on the rampage looking for their stolen bowling trophies but it's not really about them at all - it's about Bob and Constance and "the Story of O Game". It's about love and loss. You must seek out this book and read it and then you will be a better person.
