This book is almost 25 years old, but reading it now feels eerily prescient, right down to its Instagram-square ready shape and Sharon Tate cover: “As a news anchor, Juanita can‘t help but notice some type of national malaise floating about the air. Perhaps every election year is like this. And being in TV, Juanita knows that certain people have much to gain by propagating such negative discussion.”
This was a weird book I stole off my dad's nightstand when I was about 14. It was probably one of the first contemporary adult books I read and I just remember the whole thing being a bit crazy...

Also I had to throw out those shoes today 😭 A hole had grown in the toe that was beyond recovery...
Are you a minimalist? Do you take pride in a reductive life? Minimalists are actually extreme hoarders: they hoard space, and they‘re just as odd as those people with seven rooms filled with newspapers, dead cats and margarine tubs. —“Shiny”
This was recommended by a friend who loves Douglass Coupland. It was a slow read but a good one, I found myself really into it right at the end. It's quite the wild ride.
Recent #LibraryHaul. I don't think I'll get to all of these before they're due.... #everytime #igetsoexcitedatthelibrary
Though I'm trying to finish two other books, I'm not going to be able to resist starting this one after picking up my order from Malaprop's this afternoon.
