While browsing the many vaulted aisles of you library, you feel a tap upon your shoulder. When you look up, you see a face that takes you a second to recognize, despite it's familiarity. You see your father, who has many years on you (in age as well as taste), and in his hand is a book. As you open your mouth to comment, He puts the book in your hands and simply says, "I think you'll like this." He then turns without another word and heads down the aisle, opposite the way he came, and leaves. As you gaze upon the book you see, in impressed silver letters, "Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000".

Smack him in the head with the book, and then loot his wallet while he's unconscious. Fucker owes me and my mom thousands in unpaid child support.

Indeed, for while this is an illusion, the reality is that you have been bedridden for years. You were diagnosed with a rare genetic anomaly that causes you relive you past from 60 years ago.
