"More than a few months ago I received a copy of 'You're Mother's Not A Virgin' written by John Barbour, a man who I am proud to call a friend. At 700 pages plus, the idea of reading it seemed quite overwhelming...and it sat on my bedside table...taunting me for quite some time. Recently, though, I began to read. And kept reading. And read some more. Until...just 2 1/2 days later when I finished the book. When finished, I couldn't wait to speak with John...and on the phone I told him that even though I laughed out loud (literally) and had shed more than a few tears while reading, I was angry at him. I was angry at him for not writing this book sooner. I would have liked to have read this book thirty years ago...for a number of personal reasons. If ever there was someone who would be completely justified to feel bitter about their circumstances or their lot in life, having been dealt only four cards in a game of five card stud...it would be John Barbour. Yet, I have never heard one word...not a single utterance from John himself that would suggest that he has ever been a victim of anyone or anythingls|
