To Rise Again at a Decent Hour by Joshua Ferris
2.0
2 stars - Meh. Just ok.
Started out funny with heavy sarcastic overtones, but quickly became boring. I was expecting this one to be a controversial read that explored modern technology and social networking issues similar to what Eggers did in [b:The Circle|18302455|The Circle|Dave Eggers|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1376419833s/18302455.jpg|25791820], but that never quite came to fruition. Instead this one was very theological, sports centric, dry and quite slow. It was weird and original but unfortunately, that did not equate to enjoyable.
------------------------------
Favorite Quote: I was a dentist, not a website. I was a muddle, not a brand. I was a man, not a profile. They wanted to contain my life with a summary of its purchases and preferences, prescription medications, and predictable behaviors. That was not a man. That was an animal in a cage.
First Sentence: The mouth is a weird place.
