Some kids like to plug the toilets with big wads of toilet paper, but I don’t suggest you try doing that. Or if your buddy’s using the urinal, you can push him from behind and flush it at the same time. If you scare him bad enough, he might pee on himself a little. If someone’s in the stall, it’s really funny to swing and kick his door in, especially if he’s a younger kid.

![]() We all have our own timelines, and that's okay. As Pan navigates through her thirties, she realizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to adulthood. Each chapter is a testament to the power of stepping outside one's comfort zone and embracing life's uncertainties. The book is filled with anecdotes of Pan's adventures, from learning how to swim at age 28 to traveling solo to Paris. But rather than succumbing to societal pressure, Pan decides to take control of her life and sets out to accomplish all the things she thought she was too late for. She had always felt like she was behind her peers, never quite achieving the milestones that society deems important. Instead of following a teenager's journey into adulthood, Late to the Party chronicles Pan's experience as a twenty-something trying to find her place in the world. Pan's book is a refreshing take on the classic coming-of-age story.

Whatever it may be, the feeling of being left behind is universal. Have you ever felt like you were late to the party, like you missed out on something important?

The prologue to “Lit,” addressed as an open letter to her twentysomething son, speaks more to the unreliability of memory and the filters that color each person’s singular point of view. Karr doesn’t mean her “lie” in that tall-tale sense, nor in the James Frey way of intended deception. It’s an ironic beginning for a writer who rose to fame on “The Liars’ Club,” a book recounting her turbulent childhood - the title taken from the group of guys her roughneck father hung out with, shooting pool and telling tall tales in their East Texas town. “Any way I tell this story is a lie,” reads the first line of “Lit” by poet and memoirist Mary Karr. ![]() ![]() This collection was later purchased by the University of Oslo Library from Kropelien's heirs and was attached to the Kon-Tiki Museum research department.
