that wasn’t meant to be serious was it?

Rejection was the best book I’ve read so far this year. So great

Meet Joseph Linscott, who brings his story “Whether Real or Not” on bar tales and prison experiences at www.unlikelystories.org/content/whet...

Book I like is poorly rated: I’m smarter than most so I just *got* it

Book I don’t like is poorly rated: yes yes that’s exactly it, public opinion can’t be doubted
