What are you waiting for?
I could say all sorts of complimentary things about this lovely effort from a first-time author. I could provide a more descriptive summary of the stories within it, because that’s a standard reviewer’s trick, right? I could try to put into words how oddly wonderful it feels to read stories from the perspective of an unashamedly introspective geek. I could try to explain how jarringly comfortable it is to get past the chasm that celebrity status builds between people and read simple honesty from this guy that a lot of people think they know, who really is just a guy, and because of that is remarkable. I could tell you how loud I laughed, unexpectedly, and how much I sympathized. I could mention how much it simply got to me, in the nostalgic and reminiscent ways that likely only thirtysomethings’ writings can to do to other thirtysomethings. I could write about how great it feels to be a Trekkie right about now… or I could just stop typing and grab a Kleenex, and you could stop reading this and just go order a copy of the book.
