I Wouldn't Start From Here: A Misguided Tour of the Early 21st Century by Andrew Mueller

5.0

Funny, poignant and occasionally desperately horrible. Andrew Mueller takes the reader through a tour of the 21st century's trouble spots, with a sharp eye for the ridiculous and a strong smattering of commonsense. He seldom takes sides, but manages to pinpoint the idiocy of violence as a solution for world problems. And every now and again he stumbles across a small enclave of hope. This author clearly LIKES people, and has a big heart, despite his cynicism. A wildly entertaining read that incorporates the frequent desire to smack one's head against the wall.
