Lifelong Adventures of an Underachiever

By Michael N. Pappas

This is the Author's first book. Truthful and far reaching, he portrays himself in a no holds barred narrative. A totally open book highlighting many humorous moments that he wants to share with others.

To some he will appear bizarre, which in a sense he is, his actions bordering on a Saturday Night Live skit. This is a fast paced book that keeps the reader wondering what zany incident is lurking around the corner. He is curious to see how many others will share his thoughts and emotions that may take them back to similar experiences in their childhood and adult life.

This book highlights his strong family orientation and is intended to provide a testimony to his daughters, sons-in-law, granddaughters and future generational family members.
