Review of 'Manhood for amateurs' on 'Goodreads'

I'm not generally one for personal narratives, but Chabon has struck me as an interesting guy in the interviews I've read. I've just become a new dad, too, so I was in the right frame of mind for a book dealing with "the pleasures and regrets of a husband, father, and son." This book turned out to be a quick, insightful read, and even more than before Chabon strikes me as the kind of guy it'd be fun to have a beer with.
