I could see listening to the audiobook sometime but I like to read it cause I am interested in his writing and it’s easier to appreciate on the written page...

His personality really comes through...

Excellente

I just got back into it after the holidays and loving it too

I know I'm not old school...but listening to the Audio-book and actually having Jeff tell these stories is just great, his delivery is hysterical.  found my self laughing out loud in public spaces a few times from some of the passages

I'm in the middle of it and enjoying it as well. His stories of growing up a square peg in shitty depressed conservative small town America really ring true. Plus, my wife thinks I look like him.

By Bret Easton Ellis
 
Combining personal reflection and social observation, Bret Easton Ellis's first work of nonfiction is an incendiary polemic about this young century's failings, e-driven and otherwise, and at once an example, definition, and defense of what "freedom of speech" truly means.

Looks can be deceiving...got the Audio book because he narrates...not sure I can finish (1/3 way through) as it is just him whining about everything with a few cool stories inbetween

I hate autobiographical works that make me dislike the writer more than I did before I started


See Eric Crapton

some good stuff out there
@jeremynewberger Donald Trump Jr.'s book is going to be the top selling book in the Beyond-Help section of Barnes & Noble.

@leexhemming
Plenty of copyright-expired classics to repurpose. Pride and Prejudice? The Idiot? Heart of Darkness? #donjrbooktitles

If I admit that I'm currently reading a David Sedaris book, will I get publicly flogged by members of this board?

[hutch]

As long as you are reading what is the problem?

Probably just me. And honestly, a few seconds in, all the vitrol will be off of you and onto that milquetoast bore. He's the literary equivalent of Modern Family on downers. He only exists so our bigoted septuagenarian aunts can claim cover for their evangelic hate by going, "but I am reading a book by a gay man!" Fuck David Sedaris.

Wait, David Sedaris is gay? And that's why we're supposed to hate him?

[hutch]

Julian is just a hater....there is no rhyme or reason
