“Julian Barnes wrote that the fear of death replaces the fear of God. But it’s hard for me to agree with this writer that I admire so much when he admits, I don’t believe in God but I miss him. I don’t! Yet I find it impossible to join the atheist movement because everyone I know who’s been to their conventions talks about how drunk they all get. Plus atheists dress badly too.”

Listen if you have a chance. Waters reads the audiobook.

My favourite John Waters book since I read his first Shock Value as a teenager. It sort of picks up where Shock Value left off--covering all his films from Hairspray through A Dirty Shame. It made me want to rewatch the later films for sure. This book is essays, and I think two of them are in the fantasy style that half of Carsick was, so if you don't like that you can skip those.
Anyway--I'm basically here for whatever he does and from his career advice to the piece about dropping acid at 70, I loved this book.

Pure filthy delight, and Waters' narration on the audiobook is icing on the cake.
