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.
裝X地說,這是一本太。。初級的裝X書吧,無論作者意圖是要諷刺裝X還是教人裝X,話題也開展得不夠深入不夠狠。尤其總讓人不由自主拿它和《格調》相比,弱瞭太多。

評分竟然熬夜看這種書。。
評分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. 萌萌噠!
評分沒看完.這種書不在他的文化背景下,很難領會或共鳴.而且術語太多.
入门级: 记住,永远不要说自己喜欢王家卫。 这和你说喜欢甄子丹一样糟糕。 不能说的名单还包括,王家卫全套班子,岩井俊二,李安,吕克贝松,斯皮尔伯格,以布拉德·彼特为首的帅哥主演的一系列,约翰尼戴普的所有电影,所有豆瓣“看过”人数在3万以上和郭敬明老师写过的电...
評分上次一帮朋友聚会,来了个歌舞团里弹钢琴的丫头,张口就谈音乐,谁都罩不住,狂得不得了,显得我们都是光吃五谷杂粮的俗人似的。好歹有我在,自告奋勇不顾个人安危上去就和她讨论起19世纪的德国古典音乐,再紧接着一个过渡,谈到舒曼的古典主义,说到紧要处,打尾灯,刹车,调...
評分“你工作上的同事,你原来在工作之中只认识他工作这一面,但是你上他Facebook,你发现他原来喜欢狗,你发现他还喜欢养花,你发现他很讨厌苍井空,我怎么老说苍井空呢……” —— “开卷八分钟”,梁文道 你看,忽然那么一天,到处都开始讲苍井空。仿佛人人都怕落了后,忙不迭...

評分翻了翻此书,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,...
