Ok slight thread derailment but this David Mitchell gif reminded me - anyone read David Mitchell's memoir that was released recently?

>> No.3249946

No. I actually find him fairly dull since he started going out with that chick who is on HIGNFY sometimes.

>> No.3249955

Which David Mitchell? I don't care about either. Don't tell me.
David Mitchell the author is my secret pleasure so please tell me if it's him even though I know it isn't because I can tell from your picture...

The comedian, not the author. In fact this addressed in the book where David Miliband tells him that he loves his books, obviously making an error.

>>3249946
Eh fair enough. I like his over-analyses of generally normal or banal things. I don't know much about Victoria Coren (I'm not British) but she seems ok.

Maybe I'd feel differently if I read this about five years ago, but that just made me laugh.

>> No.3250013

does /lit/ actually like Looking For Alaska? I read it this year for the first time and it was nothing special

>> No.3250021

Decent book, completely saved by its ending. John Green's other book, The Fault in Our Stars, is much better.

>> No.3250026

>>3250013
Same, nothing special.

>>3250021
This was nothing special either, but at least makes people cry a lot.

It hit me hard when I first read it at 15-16, I feel like it's mostly an age thing.
