Michael Perry Presents

Attending Michael Perry's evening seminar was really an enjoyable experience as he touched on his book while not shying away from sharing his life, making us laugh, or a few comments young children would not understand and good thing. But he was all over a very enthusiastic and entertaining speaker.
Michael Perry and his Truck
 As Perry was speaking, he touched on his book Truck: A Love Story and mainly described his truck which he described in details that I could not repeat to you no, but what he so distinctly implied as...a perfect piece of crap. I don't think that I will ever understand the connection that males feel towards their cars, and maybe I am stereotyping men, but I just know, that the way that Perry spoke about his truck grasped every man in the room a different way than it could ever have held onto me. Seeing the connection that Perry has to his truck really make the whole 'love story' part a bit humorous  and although there is a real romance in the book, the bond that Perry has with his truck is also in Truck: A Love Story.  All of the personal stories that Michael Perry share in his books really bring his writing to life because he is passionate about it, and that was easy to see when he spoke. I look forward to possibly picking up another one of his books soon.

  1. I had the same feelings towards Michael Perry as you. However, I chose to attend his afternoon session rather than his evening showing. I am glad you brought up "Truck: It's a love Story". I would like to look into that book and possibly purchase it.
