The book that has reshaped /lit/ is one year old today.

It's a testament to no matter how much money you spend, no matter how many ironic shills there are, there is a certain level of unapologetic bad quality where nobody will buy a bad book.

Obviously not true. There are Youtube videos about them. Some of which are critical. The general consensus seems to be that they are really good.

THE YouTube video about it is by you, Lucas. And it’s blatantly a softball ‘crit’ because you want to leech of Gardners meme fame, which is so unbelievably pathetic it makes me want to fucking sob

Maybe in the Gardner household and only when F. Gardner is present

I'm not sure how many hundred-view videos you need about a topic to pretend that it's popular, but I'm pretty sure it's more than three.

Actually, not even memeing, it upsets me that I read at least the crocodile one. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that he actually tried (and a few bucks obv) and he clearly fucking duped me, so as a reader I’ll say fuck Gardner and his over abundance of commas

For me it was all the parallels to The Divine Comedy. It was neat to see the journey like Paradisio Inferno and Pugatorio in a modern and contemporary setting like Chicago.
