Praise for this book
"(I Got Mine) shines with the author's bright spirit and never-failing sense of humor."--Sallie Bingham, Pasatiempo
"A rich, earthy memoir."--Albuquerque Journal
"Nichols leaves us with solid advice for the writer and a nostalgic rally for himself."--Taos News
"Touching, hilarious, and candid. . . . A book of hard-bitten, determined philosophy."--The Paper
"This is an intimate portrait of a man as writer. No other work, or person, can look back at the whole of John Nichols' life as John himself can. It's a book less about the craft of writing than what it feels like to try to live an ethical life as an artist. It is a beautifully tangled and complex story--a work that feels both intensely considered and as casual as someone talking to you over the kitchen table at two in the morning."--Paul Skenazy, author of Temper CA
"John Nichols is a master storyteller, a man possessed of a gift for prose metaphor unsurpassed in his generation."--V. B. Price, author of The Orphaned Land: New Mexico's Environment Since the Manhattan Project
