"Harry would be so proud was a heartwarming book to read. So many of the stories brought a smile to my face and some even brought tears to my eyes. It holds a powerful message about how the small moments in life create immense impact when recounted in hindsight. Something worth treasuring. Highly recommend!!!"

"Eric Litsky's autobiographical account of his childhood and development as a young adult provides an affectionate view into what it means to be part of a mid-Century NY Jewish family in America, whose values transcend time and preserve heritage. It encompasses the escapades of a curious boy-child turned awkward, but tuned-in teenager, and the realization that the world actually extends beyond the Boroughs, at a time when America's youth rebelled against the 'Establishment.'

"Harry Would Be So Proud should be read slowly and savored. Given time for reflection.
These stories capture a time in history and the life of family not unlike many others, but also exceptionally special in its own way. You can't help but be carried by Litsky's masterful storytelling and narrative voice, his self-deprecating humor and actualized optimism."

"Litsky grows as an author in his sophomore book, building on the ideas from his debut. What I loved most about this book is the greater emphasis placed on the importance of stories not just as humorous asides and tangents but using them as a lens through which we can learn about
ourselves. Some of these stories are based off events that maybe lasted only a few moments but, upon reflection, can reveal greater meaning than at first flush. It invites us to look back on our own lives and examine what we may learn from those same chance encounters."

"With this latest collection of life stories from Eric Litsky, while we get additional childhood
recollections, the emphasis now seems to be on adulthood: work, marriage, divorce, children and
aging. These anecdotes are often quite amusing, sometimes poignant and always highly relatable. I
found myself saying to myself over and over -Yep, I've been in that situation or I've done that as if
I were reading my own autobiography."

"What a fun and engaging read! There is something in it for everyone. Through all of the stories. I concluded that Eric is having such a bountiful life with lots of love wrapped around it. Such a lifetime of fulfillment he has shared with hopefully more to come. An easy read from cover to cover and I could not put it down!"
