Novel Tease

Random meanderings about the books I love—or don't. 

Interspersed with observations about my hobbies: Beer & Wine, Bridge, Bikes and Bow-wows.

The United States of Air: a Satire

The United States of Air: a Satire - J.M. Porup

This is probably a funny book. 

But at 50 pages in, I decided I just couldn't force myself to read 175 more pages of a single joke. 

The whole world needs satires about the "War on Terror", and I love that Porup wrote it, but I couldn't face another line comparing America's obesity problem (real) to it's terrorism problem (still real, but in fact a much smaller problem).
