One-Sentence Book Reviews
- Exit Ghost (Roth): This book is like sitting on an old wooden bench and giving yourself a pat on the back and then forgetting what you accomplished.
- Nightmare at 20,000 Feet: Horror Stories by Richard Matheson (Matheson): This book is like going to a scary carnival and sitting next to Rod Serling on the ferris wheel.
- The Sorrows of an American (Hustvedt): This book combines the best of Dax Shepherd’s story arc on Parenthood with the best parts of In Treatment.
- Under the Dome (King): This book is like having a bucket filled with Goobers: sometimes you wish it was a bucket filled with french fries or Twix, but you’ll still eat it, because Goobers are pretty tight.
- Survivor (Palahniuk): This book should feature more Helena Bonham Carter and less Edward Norton.
- Lit (Karr): This book apologizes for apologizing about religion.
- The Wordy Shipmates (Vowell): This book is like having a jazzy conversation with a person at a party where 99% of what you say is bullshit but it’s okay because you’ll never see that person again.
- The Infinities (Banville): This book builds a Jenga tower that at first looks like Neutra but ends up taking the form of a condo in West LA from 1994.
- My Lobotomy (Dully/Fleming): This book is like having part of your brain removed and, while you enjoy telling people about your brain removal, you kind of wish you had your brain back the way it was.
