by Jonathan Miles - It's way to wordy. This book is made up of sentences that make up entire paragraphs, and they don't even say anything important! For a minute, some of the characters are OK, but they get developed and then suddenly their stories end. I think it's about the waste part of the phrase "waste not want not", and the title is trying to be something clever, since at some point in the story, the linguist starts getting rid of his stuff, and one of the story lines is about an off the grid couple who lives on what they find in dumpsters. If you want to read if for book group and look for deep meanings here, knock yourself out, but don't say I didn't warn you. Want Not didn't speak to me at all.
