Q: What’s this reserve about?

A: Good, that’s difficult to say. I haven’t browse it yet-I’ve just selected it up and casually glanced at the back cover. There clearly isn’t a plot. I’ve noticed there’s a lot of stuff time travel within this book, about Consuming the Dinosaur and quite a bit about violence and Garth Brooks and just why Germans don’t have fun when they’re inside grocery stores. Ralph Nader and Ralph Sampson play significant jobs. I think there are many pages about Back Window and university football and Mad Males and why Streams Cuomo prefers making love with Asian females. Supposedly there’s a section outlining everything the Unabomber was right about, but maybe I’m misinformed.

Q: Will there be a larger theme?

A: Oh, something about reality. “What’s reality,” probably? No, that’s not really it. Nearly. I obtain the sense that a lot of of the core questions dwell along the way mass media perception constructs a fake truth that ends up becoming more significant than whatever actually happened. Also, Lady Gaga.

Q: Should I read this book?

A: Probably. Perform you visit a very clear relationship between your Branch Davidian devastation and the documenting of Nirvana’s In Utero? Will Barack Obama cause you to want to drink Pepsi? Will ABBA remind you of AC/DC? If so, you almost certainly don’t need to examine this book. You probably wrote this publication. But I believe everyone else will totally love it, except for the types who totally hate it.
