How to Lose Friends and Alienate People [movie… by Toby Young

Oh the things an unemployed librarian with newly-found time will pick up to read... Still, the fact that I finished it with such gusto says something. It was an interesting peek into a world I'll never live in.

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People: A Memoir by Toby Young

I put this down to read something else and found I wasn't really interested in finishing it. Not that it was bad, it just didn't grab me.

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People: A Memoir by Toby Young

Not my subject matter of choice, but the writing is well above average.
