‘The Right Stuff’ (the book) is one of the most interesting and *hilarious* books I’ve ever read.

I use a phrase from that book all the time at work:
“Please let me not (mess) up”.
Or something along those lines.
Oddly enough while that movie turned me onto Tom Wolfe it was the second to last of his books that I read. And only second to last because he released another book after I read it. For 20 years I wasn’t even interested in reading it, just didn’t occur to me to want to. Then one day I saw it at a used bookstore and wondered why I’d never read it. Great book too, glad I finally got around to it.
