There's a good reason this book is the talk of the blogosphere at the moment: it's insanely good, wickedly funny and utterly memorable. Lewis Miner is the kind of guy we all ignored in high school (or if we were him, we still ignored him anyway) but he has his day in letters-from-hell to his alumni newsletter, documenting how his life went off rails that were never there in the first place. The protracted rant is difficult to pull off, but Lipsyte does -- and makes it his own.
