Weird Like Us: My Bohemian America by Ann Powers

plaidbrarian's review against another edition

1.0

I wanted to like it better, and there are some decent parts in here, but in the end, it's just the scribblings of a former hipster trying to explain to everyone why the sort of people she used to hang out with (but probably wouldn't give the time of day now that she has some success and money) are cooler than you. But then again, I enjoy consistently having a roof over my head and don't engage in recreational hallucinogen use, so admittedly I'm probably not the target audience.

What I learned from this book?...well I don't know how much I "learned", but it is always comforting to realize that others out there think about things in ways similar to me.
