A review by tylermcgaughey
A Box of Matches by Nicholson Baker

5.0

- This is the first book I've read in like ten years that manages to scratch the e'er elusive E.B. White essay itch.

- There's a story in here about an ant farm that will make you feel like a stoic ship's captain standing on a rocky Northeastern shore, staring out at the gray and spiteful surf, pretending the moisture on your aged and leathery cheeks is the sea's salty spray and not your own tears.

- Nickyboy continues his streak as the most essential writer on male urinary patterns.

- You've got to get cold to get warm.
