Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery
3.0
I think I saw something that described this as a funny trans book, although I no longer remember *where* I saw that. It took me partway through the book to realize that the author (Listed as "Daniel Lavery" on the kindle edition I got from the library was in fact a name I had read before - I used to read him at Slate, under Mallory (and then Daniel) Ortberg.
This was not entirely a memoir, but I'm also not entirely sure what it was. There were Bible stories beyond what I knew (and I grew up somewhat churchy, although not evangelical). There were what I think were literary bits, based on the two I recognized ([a:Sappho|59712|Sappho|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1675880594p2/59712.jpg] and [b:Anne of Green Gables|763588|Anne of Green Gables (Anne of Green Gables, #1)|L.M. Montgomery|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1656778824l/763588._SY75_.jpg|3464264]).
I'm not sure what I read, and I did put it down in the middle and got out another book, but I did come back and finish it. So I guess three stars?
