“Alright, I just complained about How to Be An Antiracist for these same things:
I just picked out a book called The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again.
This is indication that
A) I would like to hear about how to have fun
B) I’m dead inside
So, what I don’t really need is a long text that defines fun, explains fun is important, and 40% in, hasn’t really gotten to the part of reviving my cold, dead heart.
Also, irony, it wasn’t fun to read the book. It was homework.
I buy the premise and key idea of this book from the cover page. I don’t know why there was so much extra stuff, I guess some people just like reading extra?”
