I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf
by Grant Snider
Very cutesy cartoons about reading, writing and book loving - did I mention cute? Well, while I'm sure this will sell well as postcards, coasters and fridge magnets at the till in chain bookstores around the world, it is just a bit too toothless for me. The edgiest thing in this book is in the title, and I do prefer my writer's block whining but an extra dose of sarcasm! After the first 50 pages it started to feel like being trapped in a greeting card - while it might be a joke, drawing Fahrenheit 451 as 'moving a lawn in a heatwave' and Lord of the Flies as a canoe trip with insect, I find it crippling and kind of an insult to the books. A while in I did consider drawing in extra boxes in the Murakami Bingo plate (definitely missing 'description of the size and shape of (dressed) female character's boobs' amongst others), but I figured the cosier inclined next reader of the library's book wouldn't appreciate it.
I'm guessing this is the cartoon equivalent of bookstore-cute-novels like [b:The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry|18293427|The Storied Life of A.J.
