a fable

February 23, 2026

On Saturday I was hoping to find The Copywriter in the Peak Pick section at the library, but this book found me instead. It jumped my reading list queue and became the al la carte book of the day. The number one book of the weekend.  

 

After I finished it, I found its book review in the New York Times. Then I realized if I had read the review a couple weeks ago I would have no motivation to read the actual book. 

 

I recommend this book and if you want to read it, please don’t read the review yet. If you don’t really care to read this book then the review will sum it all up for you, too well. 

 

There’s an authentic satisfaction that comes with actually reading a book. It’s a feeling that’s quite different from the hollow jibber-jabber empty chit-chat that comes from only reading a book review and pretending like you’ve read the book. 

 

Read the book. 

 

Later you can read the review and compare notes.
