Becoming a frequent patron of my library's ebook services is legitimately changing my life.

Fuck yeah, books.

@Felthry Best estimation: "this is a point the author is clearly invested in making, and it reveals a lot about his personal life in a way that's probably semi-deliberate, and tbh it's a statement that I find pretty resonant, feel slightly called out by, and will have to think more about."

The term "bullshit jobs" 100% continues to be used throughout the book.
