Yuckytown Books: Atmospheric Disturbances

Join us at Patrick’s Pub to talk about the adorable Rivka Galchen’s Atmospheric Disturbances.  Or just come and get loaded while holding a book.  That makes it totally okay.  “I wasn’t drinking.  I was at a book club.” 

We’ll be meeting on Monday, March 1st, 8:15 PM.  Bring a book, bring a buddy, and bring something you think we should read for next time.

Comment on this article so that we know you’re coming.

Also, for your convenience, I’ve added some Amazon reviews below.  In addition, as a reviewer of reviews, I have added my own reviews of the reviews.  Enjoy!  And see you in the pub!

 

“I found “Leo” to be definitely uninteresting and unappealing and at times he didn’t sound masculine such as when he mentions an “adorable” dog.”  -NY Beader

Well, NY Beader, first off, let me say that I am almost as excited by the fact that you are a beader as I am that you live in New York.  Secondly, I use the word “adorable” all the time.  See above.  First line.  Also, as a beader, I’m sure you know a lot about masculinity.


“I bought this book because of the burbs on the back- but was very disappointed. It had a bit of promise of humor,but never fully delievered. Not fuuny like the Homer on the Simpsons. Not much of a thriller either.” -R.M. Hungate

Nothing like a good burb to sell a book.  Idiot.

Leo Liebenstein did not coin the term “simulacrum”!!! You need to go back to grad school!!! -Joshua J. Smith Fugularity

Yeah!  Take that, Liebenstein!  Take that back to your shitty, third-tier grad school and suck it!


Would any of us have bothered to read this book had it not been for the numerous positive reviews heaped upon it by the reviewers? My answer is, I think not. -Creepy Goldfish

Wow.  Amazing insight.  If only we hadn’t been fooled by positive reviews.  As a reviewer of reviews, I can appreciate where you’re going here, but ultimately I think your review is supposed to concern the book, not the reviews of said book.  That’s my job.  And you are terrible at it.
