The title comes from John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)." <BR/><BR/>Sheff begins every unit with lyrics or a quote from music, literature (Thomas Lynch and Joan Didion are favorites); like this one that starts the first unit, about Nic's childhood:<BR/><BR/>"I have a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function." -Kurt Cobain, in his suicide note<BR/><BR/>Sheff also weaves music into his story, marking Nic's stages of life by the music he listens to: Raffi to Pete Seeger to Dylan to the Kinks and some punk to Kurt Cobain to Weezer to some obscure stuff. <BR/><BR/>Sheff talks about Eternal Sunshine a lot, quoting in in the last part of the book. He wishes he could get Nic erased from his brain sometimes, to have some peace. but other times, the though seems unfathomable. <BR/><BR/><BR/>it's a good book. interesting for music lovers too. read it, i say.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399162797814505110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-934096967055481899.post-16857299560615825052009-01-28T11:12:00.000-05:002009-01-28T11:12:00.000-05:00I'm sort of curious about this book, just because ...I'm sort of curious about this book, just because I really like that excerpt.
