I don't know about the rest of you guys, but the TV Show "Freaks And Geeks" was not only one of my favorite all-time shows, but it pretty-much detailed my own life as well (as both a geek and later a freak). Anyway, this book "Kick Me" was written by the creator of "Freaks And Geeks", Paul Feig. *Spoiler* (hightlight to read)The first chapter details the Junior High horror of having a name like Feig that could easily be mis-read by a teacher as "fag" and ruin your social status for the rest of your school life.
This is not "good literature" by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a good read. It's like cold reality served on a very goofy looking plate.
