Parish the Thought Too is a book by John Ruane, a memoir of his childhood growing up in the 1960s in a blue-collar neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago. The book is a sequel to Ruane's first memoir, Parish the Thought.

In Parish the Thought Too, Ruane picks up where he left off in the first book, telling more stories about his family, friends, and experiences growing up in a Catholic parish. He writes about the snowstorm that shut down Chicago, the tornado that devastated the southwest side, and the many other challenges and joys of childhood.

I enjoyed reading about how close his family was. He had a family that should be the aspiration of everyone in society today. I also liked reading about how his father introduced him to baseball. I found it refreshing that his father was available and didn't leave the burden of raising the children to the mother. I found no errors in the book, which indicates that it was well-edited. I found no negative aspects of the book. I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The book was captivating, and I couldn't resist.

Ruane's writing is witty and moving, and he captures the essence of what it was like to grow up in a Catholic parish in the 1960s. He writes about the importance of faith, family, and community, and he shows how these things helped him navigate the challenges of his childhood.

Parish the Thought Too is a heartwarming and nostalgic book that will appeal to anyone who grew up in a Catholic parish or remembers the 1960s. It is a story about faith, family, and community, and it is a reminder of the importance of these things in our lives. I recommend this book to readers who love books filled with mystery, adventure, and drama. I also recommend it to those who enjoy reading memoirs.
