Burning Down the House
Has over 600 pages and at least 300,000 words. Less than 100 pages covers my childhood and my life up to November of 1993 when I had my fire. There is close to 100 pages describing the political problems we all face whether we like it or not.
The rest of the book covers my daily life experiences, dealing with a corrupt local government and the phoney rumors that the industries create. Through the last 10-12 years of my life, you can say that I've learned much more than I did in the twenty years beforehand. It's all about playing the game and if there had been any books out there that covered these kinds of things,
I can assure you I would have
read them.
