Uninspired Book Reviews

A rundown of my reading crusade from last week, in six words or less:

Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Neverending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems (David Rakoff)
Not bad, but a bit dull.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson)
You've probably already read it.

Barrel Fever and Other Stories (David Sedaris)
Outstanding.

The Areas Of My Expertise (John Hodgman)
Talked enough about it.

The Washingtonienne (Jessica Cutler)
This bullshit is in French now?!

I swear there was a sixth book in there too. It must have left quite an impression. I read a lot of Cometbus as well, but that behemoth is more of a perpetual work in progress (and has extraordinary reread value).
