Read this one for school. Interesting and boring by turns. Felt really rabbit-traily, but I guess a lot of the stories were there to make a point.
I'm not ready to overthrow civilization as we know it for the sake of the planet, so I guess their book didn't accomplish its goal in me.

This book definitely changed how I view the world. I'm looking into what might be changing since its publication in 2011 regarding "sustainable" energy etc. Definitely a "must read" for environmentalists.

The planet may or may not be dying, but if this book is any indication, copy editing has certainly died. As much as I enjoyed reading the same examples repeated ad nauseum, the abuse of logic that characterized much of the text, and the bizarre personal asides, nothing prepared me for Chapter 4. It managed to critique pornography, Jack Kerouac, Romanticism, Nazis, and much more.
Edit: And how could I forget the author of Chapter Four critiquing veganism, with the attendant discussion of the quality of her lentil and meat (pasture-raised) chili?
Yikes.
