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.
Welcome to the Age of UnEnlightenment!!

評分三四年前讀的。馮內古特說,"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." 翻譯成大白話就是,“裝逼須謹慎。”

豆瓣7005人评价,当当30182人评价,所以有理由相信这本书已经卖了5万册,甚至可能接近10万册……对这本书的印象最早只是停留在豆瓣读书首页,封面让人印象深刻,但一直没把这书加到书单里。 周一偶然在明复的书架上看到这本书,便随手借。老实说内容其实不怎么接地气,但必须...
評分抛开中二病毒的侵袭不谈,每个人都有被人仰慕的愿望,有姿色的哪怕不能当选全球选美小姐/先生,只要发些靓照从而微博粉丝过六位、或入主“豆瓣有趣人物蜡像馆”也是相当爽利的事情。马斯洛的第五层梦境——自我价值的实现,在这个物价上涨、房东为王的时代,穷酸的文青难以...

評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...
