Worst. Person. Ever.
Worst. Person. Ever. | Douglas Coupland
9 posts | 14 read | 5 to read
Raymond Gunt likes to think of himself as a pretty decent guyhe believes in karma, and helping his fellow man, and all that other good stuff. Sure, he can be foulmouthed, occasionally misogynistic, and can just generally rub people the wrong waythrough no fault of his own! So with all the positive energy hes creating, its a little perplexing to consider the recent downward spiral his life has takenCould the universe be trying to tell him something? A B-unit cameraman with no immediate employment prospects, Gunt decides to accept his ex-wife Fionas offer to shoot a Survivor-style reality show on an obscure island in the Pacific. With his upwardly failing sidekick, Neal, in tow, Gunt somehow suffers multiple comas and unjust imprisonment, is forced to reenact the Angry Dance from the movie Billy Elliot, and finds himself at the center of a nuclear waramong other tribulations and humiliations. A razor-sharp portrait of a morally bankrupt, gleefully wicked modern man, Worst. Person. Ever. is a side-splittingly funny and gloriously filthy new novel from acclaimed author Douglas Coupland. A deeply unworthy book about a dreadful human being with absolutely no redeeming social value, its guaranteed to brighten up your day.

I'm going to nominated myself as I freely admit I am not a book mark user. I use whatever is near but usually hardcovers I use the dust jacket and paperbacks I leave lying open or I fold earmark the page (if I own the book) #crimesagainstcovers #photochallenge #daytwo @ErinSueG

TK-421 I'm a dog-earer too (on my own books only!) Not to mark my place but to mark pages I want to reread because I found something quotable. 6y

@ErinSueG I apologise to all the crafty Littens out there, but if you do any of the above to your books, imo you are the worst. person. ever! #crimesagainstcovers

DreesReads I saw a pic today (Litsy? Instagram? Reddit?) of a library dumpster half full of books at a used book sale. Art sure beats trash. 6y
BillBlume I‘m always so mixed, because I want to know what books they are. Did those books deserve it? 6y
Itchyfeetreader With you on this one. I appreciate how pretty some of this art is but feel a bit nauseated by the actual cutting of the books ! 6y
sdbruening @BillBlume haha my thoughts too. If it‘s a terrible book I don‘t feel so bad 😝 6y
BillBlume @sdbruening absolutely! Some books have it comin‘! (edited) 6y

Day 2 of #crimesagainstcovers I am not even sure where to start. I work in a school, so I see kids commit crimes towards books all the time. I have seen books thrown across the room/at people, jammed into the library basket, drooled in (while eating Cheezits!!), staples pushed into their beautiful covers and of course walked/stepped/slid on! It breaks my heart to see books treated this way! (Sorry I don't have pictures for this one)

@ErinSueG

Erinsuereads I‘m having real anxiety over the cheese drool 🤭🤭🤭😂😂😂 6y
AsYouWish @ErinSueG That may have been the absolute worst one for me because all I could think was 1. Those pages are going to stick together like crazy. 2. Someone else is going to have to touch this book at some point. And 3. That is just soooooo gross!!!!!! 6y

#HumpDayPost @MinDea 1. Immersed in mayhem he may or may not be the cause of, Ray Gunt leads us on a gratuitously crude journey from one absurd situation to the next.
2. Toffifay 3. Generation X (term popularized by above author) 4. Bath & BodyWorks Stress Relief Lotion 5. Super Bowl party

MinDea Do you like the book? Recommend? 7y
rachelk @MinDea I rated it so-so. I like satire and I started out laughing but after awhile it was just too much profanity, negativity and repetition for me. 7y
MinDea Bummer. Thanks for your review. I won't stack it! 7y

This book was beyond HILARIOUS!! I laughed out loud from beginning to end. Ray Gunt's character was doomed from the beginning and the whole summary was based on his bad luck.

Can't even begin to explain the disturbing appeal of this book! My nose hurt from snorting laughter while drinking my coffee as I was devouring this book for breakfast every day.

Tessyreads Yes! It was hilarious! 8y
