Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery
2.75
This was exhausting.
I loved The Toast. And there's a lot of great humor, decent writing, and honest reflection here. But it works better in blog format rather than slogging through them all in a row. The book is less than 250 pages and could've been just fine at half that.
Like, there's entire chapters of undergrad intro lit level Deep Thought movie reviews. Keep it on your substack.
The author is desperate for us to see how clever, and well read, and irreverent he is. For us to please please like him. It's tiresome and kinda sad.
