My Earliest Recollections

By Shane J. Hughes

My Earliest Recollections is a compilation of stories based on the real life adventures and experiences of Shane J. Hughes growing up in rural southern Oregon. If you enjoy the colloquial or appreciate wit, dimwits, and the politically incorrect, then this book is for you.The author has a strong grasp of comedic timing, a colossal dose of whimsy, and a Puck-like innocence for being a ne'er-do-well. The way he subtly slips in and out of the reality of the mundane world to give us his extremely skewed point of view is brilliant. He doesn't just ask us to give him the benefit of the doubt; he firmly believes that we'll follow him down the path which his story leads us.His sense of humor is amazing in its understatement. He does the most insane, reckless, irresponsible (and even shady) things and yet makes it seem like it was the most logical, thoughtful decision possible. Every grown-up is unreasonable. Siblings are a wretched contrivance, and sheep...well, sheep are just stupid.
