I admit a few reviews in this book filled with criticisms of non-existing books went whoosh, right over my head. VERY cerebrally dense piece of meta fiction. Of the false books, I would absolutely read Being Inc., Les Robinsonades, Sexplosion, Gruppenführer Louis XIV (I even had a dream of this one), Idiota, and U-Write-It. Basically, all of the fiction ones. The false books on physics, philosophy, and mathematics really made my eyes glaze over but that doesn’t make this a bad book. Glad I read it!
