Half Empty by David Rakoff, 224 pages


I picked this book up thinking it would a funny read, along the lines of David Sedaris, but I didn't find it nearly as humorous. I think it would have been more enjoyable if I was a New York Jew, especially as there is a whole chapter devoted to the Jewish guilty fascination with pork. One of the other problems is that the author looks like Richard from Season 1 of Survivor, so I kept reading it with him as the narrator. Maybe if I was deeper it would have been a better read for me.
