"American on Purpose"

[fiefoe]

Another audiobook by a Glaswegian, but this time in a very different vein. (Gosh, after six discs, I can pretty much hear Craig Ferguson pronounce 'vein' in his Scottish accent. By the way, the accent goes a long way to make the book more interesting.)

Two episodes stayed with me:

• his redoubtable mom's previously unsuspected dream of driving across the Golden Gate Bridge while waving a scarf
• the author finding out he was a millionaire while digging parasites out of his pet's behind
