Book report

So last week I borrowed this book, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and I just finished it yesterday. This means I read a four hundred and thirty seven page book in a week. I think I would read more but then I fear I would become a nerd like my friend Danny and right now I'm quite happy just being a geek. I don't like reading but when I do I find that I enjoy it.

The book is in fact at times a heartbreaking work of staggering genius and at other times it's just a really self involved blatant example of what you would think a twenty something gen xer might be thinking about in the early nineties. I'd recommend it if you like books about things and stuff.

And now for some random goings on on the internets. I beat this whole thing in like half an hour, if you can't then you're not cool or you have better things to do. This is just too relatable to be funny. I love it when people are impressed with bygone civilizations such as Rome, "But they had a sophisticated water system and they had roads!", as if having those things makes them more advanced then modern man and his silly sewer systems and six lane highways. From now on when I get into this conversation with a hippie I think I'll just point to this thing to make my point. As I said before I am a geek and my excitement for this film proves it. This is a really interesting take on why we don't like music we once liked once it gets "popular" and just the state of the "hipster" mentality in general and how it might be bought and sold back to said hipsters. This is a cool idea here and I wouldn't be mad if any of you valued readers felt then need to get me one of these tees for Christmas. I'll get you something equally cool, promise.
