On Sarcasm

After the last post and some backtracking of previous posts, I realized a trend in my writing. When I need a handy book to mock, I always tend to pick one in particular. Mockery of it in particular is my comfort object, my tickle-me-Elmo if you will. I mean, there are plenty of awful books out there. Why this one?

I think the "poor, little defenseless white male" theme wins the prize. Even as I'm writing this, I'm supressing a giggle. But even if I do giggle, I'm okay with that.

Either that, or I'm snobbish enough to avoid reading a lot of crappy books. That's possible, too.

Either way, yes, I'm aware of the trend.
