Funny, terrifying (the hitchhiking story), insightful, lovely writing. Robert Skinner is a terrific storyteller.

I thought this would be the book that breaks this sense of ennui I've been feeling towards books lately - with no title grabbing me - I'm jumping between six different audiobooks on 3 different apps and I have 3 paperbacks I feel no rush to get back to.
I'd Rather Not is a small collection of essays. It's promoted as "endlessly entertaining" - an exaggeration setting the reader for disappointment.
There were a few amusing instances, some observations on welfare and unemployment, being homeless and couch surfing, working as a dishwasher, taking a trip up North with his parents and a bunch of camel wranglers, working as a tourist guide and putting out a short-stories magazine.
I'll keep trying, I'm overdue for a riveting read.
