A review by sindri_inn_arsaeli
The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons by Bob Eckstein

2.0

I should have known going in, of course, since most of these are New York Times cartoons and cartoonists. There were a spare handful that did make me chuckle, but the NYT general pretentious attitudes pervaded. Conflicting versions of how book lovers are snobs, and yet chick lit and beach reads are beneath "real" readers. The general sense is that here is a collection of comics about people who have to pretend to love books so they can keep looking smart and better than the common person.
