The Slob | Aron Beauregard

Mehso-so

Um. Ok. So…I decided to try this one, since it was nominated for a splatterpunk award and I‘ve seen people talking about it. But like…wow. Ok. I feel a little dirty after reading it. I did laugh a couple times, but then the author uses#d the “r” word and I was upset. But then…just the sheer audacity of the sexism and homophobia was…a LOT. Not sorry I read it, but would not recommend.

Reggie Kudos to you for trying something outside your comfort zone. I love horror but splatterpunk and extreme horror is not my jam. 2y
Lauranahe Yeah, it was my second foray into extreme horror, but my first into splatterpunk. I think I‘m going to write more of my thoughts about it on goodreads, because I have things I want to say. I don‘t think I‘ll be reading more of Beauregard‘s books tho. 2y

I first learned about this book when I saw the musical that was based on it. Love the musical and I love this book. This book kept giving me goosebumps for remembering the events of 9/11 plus for reading how kind the people of Gander were to these stranded passengers. An incredible book (and musical)! #booked2021 #relatedto911 #litsyatoz #d #littenlisten #4points

BarbaraTheBibliophage I‘m contemplating listening to this one for the 9/11 prompt. It gets a lot of love here! 3y

4⭐️ A really cute Christmas story. A fairly easy read that surprisingly had a little more meat on the story than some of the other #christmasfiction I read this season. #2021 #fiction #bookreview #bookstagram #dogfiction #litsyatoz #d

This was fun to see a child who was able to figure out a way to deal with her problem.

Status Anxiety | Alain de Botton

The price we have paid for expecting to be so much more than our #ancestors is a perpetual #anxiety that we are far from being all we might be.

I struggle with #deBotton‘s #structure every time I‘m intrigued by his thesis, but this time I finally pushed through/was in the right frame of mind to plough through the weird #d paragraphs and absorb the message.
A very important one about why we are unhappy—also perhaps a way out of #climatecrisis?!
