Your favorite hobby
You are your own favorite hobby. You’re an expert on you.
All a good salesman does is make eye contact, mimic your body language, nod or laugh or grunt to prove he’s spellbound — those noises or gestures, they’re called “verbal attends.” A salesman only has to prove that he’s just as obsessed with you as you are with yourself. After that, the two of you share a common passion: you.

I have this book on the ToRead shelf. Did you finish it already? I like the author’s work a lot, but from time to time he produces some “minor” works (Diary, Invisible Monsters). How is this book compared to others?
I did finish it. It is the first Palahniuk that I read, so I can’t compare to the others. I thought it was pretty good, funny, with some interesting ideas in it, well-written and quite original both in form and content. That said, I wouldn’t say it was outstanding; I would give it 7.5 out of 10.
