Finally finished it! It didn't take me so long to finish Planet Simpson because it was a bad read; I really enjoyed it. I blame my workload and my reading habits. As far as Planet Simpson goes, it felt like a memoir of the 90s and early 00s. It was a lot to take it and I think it would take a few more reads to absorb all the information. It felt like reading a podcast in a way and I am glad I found it.

Forgot how great it is to sit down somewhere with a drink and READ.

Also laughed at this one.

I don't know if this counts as a quote from Chris Turner or not but I laughed hard either way.

This is a bit of a different read for me, compared to all the fiction. I've always loved The Simpsons and recently discovered a Simpsons rewatch podcast. The two hosts recommended this book for every Simpsons fan and even had the author on their show a few times! I was sold. #booktenof2021
