Sorry, but the writing style just grates on me.<p>&quot;It was nuts. Totally obsessive-compulsive. Call it an exercise in eccentricity or futility, and you&#x27;d probably be right.&quot;<p>How is that humble?  A good writer would tell the story and let the reader decide how crazy and eccentric he is.<p>There are a million ways to write about personal experiences without using &quot;I&quot; every other sentence and bragging about how great you are.<p>I probably shouldn&#x27;t have even said anything.
