I'm sure it is garbage, but I like the spirit behind it. Geeks need love too! Then again, this is a book? What kind of loser would buy it?

Wait -- is Ira Glass in it?

It feels like a joke. But it's not funny, really. It's just weird and it feels kind of like garbage even when you pick it up.

I felt that way about The Final Four book reviewed earlier on this site.

I'm in my office, waiting for one email to come through before I can go home, and then this. Laughing my ass off, glad nobody's here to restrain me until the ambulance arrives. This is the best.

Is it just me or do all these book covers look the same? Is there one go-to publisher for this kind of pointless drivel?

You've already found the target audience: the Tiger Beat crowd. Vapid 13 year-old girls and creepy middle-aged closet cases... with a taste for nerdish boys.

But doesn't that mean it would actually be a really awesome ironic coffee table or bathroom book to give someone? I think that several of my friends would LOVE to be gifted with something like this.

Someone already reviewed this on slog I believe...

Sad because you weren't featured, Paul?

The publishing industry can't die fast enough.
