The Book of Daniel
Author Ira Winfield writes a candid memoir while showing no hesitation when it comes to revealing the less than glamorous aspects of his life: "Daniel being better at typing than I was is the only reason nothing we wrote over the next few days exists anymore. Being the control freak that he was, everything had to be on his computer, written by his hand. It's a good thing we had so much fun because the only thing left from that weekend are what little memories I have. At one point, he wrote that he would rather have a threesome with his parents than spend another Sunday in church surrounded by a bunch of people he knows to be hypocrites. He also proclaimed that he would gladly pay $200,000 to watch Adele eat a live manatee on payâ€"perâ€"view. This was the real, lovable Daniel. The tolerable Daniel. This was the Daniel that I wish was still alive."

Ira and Daniel will come to your house, drink every last drop of alcohol you own, get into fights with each other, break your furniture, and start rumors that will haunt your personal life for years to come.
This is all fun and games until the hard living finally catches up with Daniel. Now Ira has written a book detailing their friendship and the events that led to Daniel's early demise. Most of these stories are true as best as Ira can remember them. None of the names have been changed, because no one is innocent.
