After reading Chast's story, I feel more grateful for two things: 
 1) My siblings 
 2) My parents' (or at least my mom's) and in-laws' devotion to decluttering 
 This is the first full-length graphic anything I've read. I've got a kind of resistance to the medium, but I was curious to see how one might approach this serious subject through what's essentially a series of cartoons. Now that I've read it, I can see the storytelling value of this medium. I don't know that I like it more than digging into some nice, dense prose, but it's interesting. 
 And this particular book was not only interesting but also scary because it's like looking into the future and because it hadn't occurred to me that health insurance benefits might not cross state lines. *shudder*
