Bad Reviews for Good Books

Want to sound smart at book signings? Listen to find out the authors and books that have sold the most copies EVAH. Through the one-star reviews you'll learn just enough about each book to pretend you read them and are too sophisticated to find them engaging. You might be surprised at the #1 romance author... (You will be surprised. Ain't nobody's ever heard of her.)

Reading a single book is sufficient to catapult one into literary snobbery. But only if that book was written in 1869 by a Russian aristocrat who's grasp of brevity begins and ends with - the word between breville and brevirostris in the dictionary. After you've listened to a few dozen one-star reviews of Tolstoy's 1.5K page masterpiece, you too, can pretend to have read what critics have deemed one of the greatest books of all time. And if there's one thing the world needs more of, it's literary snobs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bad-reviews-good-books/message
