This is horrible.
This is a horrible interview.
"This book's not doing it for me"
"It's shallow"
Jesus.
"You'll either love it or hate it"
"At the end of the day..."
Jesus.
i think, huh, camus' the stranger or sociopath
'stranger than fiction TV' is a stupid name
what is strange about book reviews
and you're only reviewing fiction anyway
this isn't TV
there's already been a TV show 'stranger than fiction'
it was a documentary show because the cliche is about 'fact' and documentaries have a lot of facts
you are implying your reviews are facts
but mostly you just use relativistic cliches
'stranger than fiction TV' is a stupid name
damn
2 minutes in, he hasn't said anything about your book
homeboy give no love
we're bored of shoplifting
write another moderately interesting novel
we are bored of shit talking the same novel constantly
this is old news
for fucks sake
seems like he has a bright future in vlogging, wonder what his fiction is like.
shakespeare. james joyce. andrew ross.
Uh Oh! Now all the hipster emo kids will be buying JD Salinger's new books, and Tao will starve.
god damn bitches...
heheheheheheheheee
good stuff
ayn rand vs. tao lin
"kinda ironic"
"kind of a self made man"
seems pretty sweet
i'm confused. what is 'deconstructionalist, minimalist' literature? is that what you get if you tried to write like carver after having read derrida's grammatology. think that would be a pretty 'messed up' book.
'but then again,' if it's not shakespeare or joyce it's not good 'cuz they're like super genuises or something and the only ones who give james wood a boner, and that's what it's all about 'after all'.
'lol'@'all my dead writer homies'
wow. andrew's voice makes me want to eat rocks.
i love how he needed to spell out your name. T-A-O L-I-N. psh, that wasn't degrading or offensive or anything...
i love how he can't even hold up your book. i mean, it is pretty heavy.
i feel like he made you sound like some sort of lab rat.
i feel like he's a major douchenozzle. who is probably secretly some sort of white supremacist. who probably still takes fashion advice from his mother.
really bad review, god awful
he didn't talk about anything people haven't already talked about
he looks like an asshole
the camera is so far away
the other books he mentions are totally different from tao's book and not to mention they are 50plus years old.
the amount of words he used, without actually saying anything, sort of reminded me of the book he was reviewing.
how... ironic.
When he says 'masterpieces," I think he means 'codpieces.'
Elise is 'tired' of 'masterpieces.'
The review aside, his view of literature appears very 'flawed.'
Maybe he was a business major, or something.

I still don't understand his "hundred point scale."
