pickI may have posted about this short book before. I‘m old. My memory is poor. This is a truly hidden gem of satire. Ride the convoluted sentences until you absorb Carp‘s pomposity. Unravel his self-justifications until you take his measure. Then laugh. Here is a joy. How many acquaintances and public figures are a little too Carp? If you like Diary of a Nobody this is definitely for you. I read this at least once a year. Thank me later.

pickI feel we know each other well enough to share a secret: this is my favourite book. Ever. The best. I go back to it at least once a year.
It's a short book and it's different. Treat yourself, then thank me. Go on.
Entirely devoid of self-awareness though entirely self-centred Carp is a joy and a horror to behold. The style of the delivery is the key capturing the monumental hypocrisy and rendering it hilarious.
Shoot me if I'm wrong. (I'm not.)
