Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery

5.0

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

Absolutely worth the pre-order, and very similar in style to his posts on shatnerchatner.com (which are hilarious and haunt me, especially “it’s 1961, here are your tight little male accessories”). Not every essay lands, but those that do are so funny and poignant and strange, and I’m convinced that Lavery and I are [Jenna Marbles voice] spiritually connected since our tastes align often and in the weirdest ways (Bill Shatner’s boyishness, oldass movies with T4T energy, the fact that he apparently thinks about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Anne of Green Gables as often as I do). I could read another three books like this.
