    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this series of essays, which had some laugh out loud moments, and a perspective that's original.  However, as a fan of his first book of essays, Fraud, I admit that this one wasn't as good for me.  Maybe I just enjoyed the subject matter of the other essays as the writing and wittiness are still present.<br/><br/>If someone were looking for essays to read, I'd probably recommend Fraud first, but I wouldn't tell someone not to read this.  I guess that's about as critical as I can get on this one.]]></body>
