What Readers Says About This Book?

I have just completed Up All NIGHT: An Aspie’s Memoir of Chasing Girls in Quicksand, and I heartily recommend it. Sadly, I fear the title does not do the book justice, and yet it does an extraordinary job nonetheless. Rich brings candor, vulnerability, and grace who’s life story, even though wis clear that his life journey has miles to go before he sleeps.

David F. Bomke

We have all had difficulty navigating social situations…no matter our age, gender, etc. The story consists of short, anecdotal chapters from 50+ years of life. I always wanted to read the next story and understand the next lesson.

Margaret Caspers Booth

“Sometimes you learn how to swim by nearly drowning.” That line—and dozens more—stuck with me. Rich has a way of writing that’s both heartbreaking and hopeful, making you pause, reread, and just feel it. This isn’t just a memoir; it’s a collection of truths about being human.

Benjamin Simpson

I’m one of those readers who always peek at the last chapter first. Even knowing where Rich’s story would end up didn’t soften the journey. The pages in between are full of childhood misunderstandings, teenage heartbreaks, and lessons learned the hard way. A beautiful read, start to finish (even out of order).
