ONE MORE THING

One More Thing by B.J. Novak - I loved these essays, short stories and paragraphs that make up Stories and Other Stories.  The critics don't know what to call this great collection of writing about all kinds of different topics and situations, so they flail around and just generally recommend the book, which I do too! (B.J. would never use an exclamation point, but I use it so that you'll read the book.)  B.J. played Ryan on The Office, and if you think reading this book will help you to know him any better as a person, don't get your hopes up.  The book confirms that the guy is super smart, a super thinker, and super funny.  But he's still distant while trying to make you think that he isn't.  Which makes him all the more alluring.  So read and enjoy and thank me later for the laughs and the thinking that are inspired by these story chapters with titles and occasional discussion questions.
