Review
Sacramento Book Review, September 2008
“At times taking shots at low hanging fruit, this humorous guide to being your very own local elitist will probably be used by those very people it attempts to parody.”

Product Description
In today’s fast-paced society, who has time to keep up with both the current trends and the classics of what is “good” and “popular”? The Art of Faking It guides you—with tongue planted firmly in cheek—through any awkward, intellectual, and/or über-sophisticated social situation, using both panache and pithy nuggets of wisdom to ensure you’ll never be at a loss for the right words and attitudes again.
Inside you will find everything you need to know about what everyone is talking about— from ordering the “right” food and drink to holding an intelligent conversation about anything, from classical music and architecture to legitimate theater and the opposite sex. With the timely information and savvy advice in this book, playfully illustrated with New Yorker-esque line drawings, you will be the most scintillating conversationalist in the bunch—whether you are faking it or not!
Author Laurence Whitted-Fry, when not doing Mergers and Acquisitions on a multi-national yet ecologically sound level, can be found scuba-diving in the Amazon, race-car driving in Kabul, or raising prized Arabian stallions on a small island off Italy’s southern coast. He is currently working on a follow-up to his best-selling self-help book, A Guide to Investments After the Rapture.
He resides and teaches Feminist Interpretive Dance (FID), and Swiss Cooking Techniques (SCT) in Manhattan and Woodstock, New York.

评分刘编辑已经为这篇书稿催了我三个星期,为了守住事不过三星期的做人原则,我对正在冬眠的大脑发出召唤,转动一下吧,国家德比都过去一天了,也该想想别的事儿。 刚拿到这本书的时候,我原以为读起来会很吃力,可实际情况却是格外的畅快,有点类似于疏泄,就是拿着一刻也不停的...
评分 评分翻了翻此书,突然想起大学时代那段被尊称为二哥的日子。我是全班年龄最小的。班里最大的那年也有21岁,足足比我大了五岁。可是他们从来不叫我小孩,小朋友,而是在直面装逼王和考试时,轻轻的又充满尊敬的叫我一声,二哥。 我们所学的专业里最装逼的莫过于音乐学了。这种东西,...
All shoes should be scruffy and unevenly worn down on the heels. ou definitely need glasses with chunky frames, a geek-chic hairstyle (ponytail for girls, scruff for men), an overstuffed tote bag, and many writing implements—fountain pens are especially good. 萌萌哒!
评分每天睡前看两章,很欢乐~

评分三四年前读的。冯内古特说,"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." 翻译成大白话就是,“装逼须谨慎。”
