Stuff Anna Likes
I'm in the middle of reading "Stuff White People Like" by Christian Lander. I saw it in Borders and was suckered into buying it off of the "buy one get one half price" table along with David Bach's smug "Go Green, Live Rich" book. At first I thought the SWPL book was sooo funny, but as I'm reading it I'm realizing that apparently I am the white stereotype this book is making fun of. I never suspected I'd become the typical white girl, but according to this book I'm 100% white. I can't get enough New York Times, Japan, Liberal Arts Degrees, IKEA, Barack Obama, Criterion Collection, and Public Radio. I never suspected I'd be reduced to a stereotype, and suddenly the book doesn't seem as funny. Should I lighten up? Damn you, Christian Lander!
