Hilarious. DFW is like that little voice in your head that whispers inside jokes to you that you snort inappropriately at. The chapter detailing his adventures covering the state fair made me spit coffee on more than one occasion.

Profound, funny, important. These are the exact opposite of the descriptors I’d use to describe this book. Repetition, I get it, it’s what makes humor humorous. C22 is very repetitive but rarely funny. I found this book incredibly boring and a chore to labor though.

Good book for someone like me with little exposure to economics. Especially enjoyed the last 2 sections on free trade (globalization) and China.
