06.11.08 UR Book Smarts - 8 Books in 3 Minutes

UR Book Smarts is back. And to catch us up right quick I reviews 8 books in 3 minutes. If I knew math I could tell you how many books per minute that boils down to, but I don't know math. That's why I'm a writer.


Comments

The "it's about baseball..." line cracked me up.

I recently saw the trailer for that Brad Pitt movie, too, and instantly thought of the Max Tivoli book, which was great in parts and absolutely annoying as shit in others.

Another reverse-aging book I read a few years ago was Ray in Reverse, by the same guy who wrote Big Fish. Skip it. It was awful.

+The Maiden Metallurgist says...

I can't believe you just reviewed a book even though you haven't even gotten to page 100! Douche!

OK, I don't really think you're a douche, I just cracked up when you said it.

I STOPPED watching to comment as SOON as you said PopRocks!! Where can you get PopRocks?????? I haven't seen those since I was in Gr. 10! I love those! I have had to resort to the mini eggs with them inside once a year....I MUST get some poprocks! Please share your source.

+Carla says...

FYI: That's 22.5 seconds per book (on average).

+Librarian Girl says...

The next time I have to do a presentation of book recommendations in front of an audience for my job, I am totally eating Pop Rocks while I do it.

+Dharmamama says...

I loved Brothers K, and most everything written by David James Duncan. And I have no idea why I'm telling you that.

Thank goodness you didn't have Mentos and Diet Coke, with the PopRocks. You would have exploded, haven't you heard?
