next great read. From this the industry of book-gifting has grown. But a book gifted is an obligation passed on. And since usually a persons favorite book is gifted, the obligation is not just to read but to enjoy as much as the gift-giver himself enjoyed.
This book is one way to ameliorate that exhausting trend. It neither claims to be a brilliant book, nor is it time consuming to read. Because it's even a 'rather boring book', one is completely justified in never opening it and passing it directly on to the free-box at the laundromat. No harm done. No pardoning of guilt needed. And if one reads it -- all the boring bits have been removed so the consumption of said product is in no way time demanding.
