I went to the library to pick up a hold and was seduced by the "blind date with a book" display. I almost don't want to open it, the anticipation is so sweet! Any guesses about what it is before the big reveal? The clues: It's satire, "dark, unsettling, and nerve chafing," and about 1/2 inch/1 cm thick.

ImperfectCJ @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @Lindy @Meshell1313 Turns out it was this one. I read it in 2009 just before my son was born. I liked it then, but it might be interesting to see how it reads almost 16 years later.Fight Club 3w
Fight ClubLindy @ImperfectCJ The blind date idea is fun. We did that sometimes at the public library before I retired. 😁 3w
ImperfectCJ @Lindy To my knowledge, this is the first time our branch has done it. I am amused at how much of a draw it was for me. I'm such a sucker for those kinds of controlled surprises, like getting a mystery grab bag or a tea advent calendar. 😂 3w

Meshell1313 @ImperfectCJ oooh interesting!!! 3w
ImperfectCJ @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I think the movie is so well done. I actually preferred it to the book, but now that we're planning to watch it with our teens, I want to read the book again, so it showing up as my "blind date" is fortuitous. 3w
