Need more dysfunction? Wally Lamb's got a book for that.

We could call I Know This Much is True a hand-book (because Thomas chops off his hand), but we're not that cheesy. Okay, we are. So from hand-book to Facebook, here's Lamb's official Facebook page.

We know this much is true: As of 2014, there's no I Know This Much is True movie. But Samantha Highfill of Entertainment Weekly thinks it would be a blockbuster.

"But a life experience." At least that's what Oprah thinks about her June 1998 Book Club selection.

Publisher's Weekly may just give one star, but it doesn't sprinkle them out all willy-nilly.

Lamb gives props to Oprah for putting not one, but two, of his books on the bestseller lists.

Here's a Time magazine cover of the Persian Gulf crisis, the event that drives Thomas to chop off his own hand.
