reviewed White noise by Don DeLillo

Absurd and bizarre in a highly entertaining way

5 stars

When one of my friends recommended this book, he told me "you don't really read it for any plot; moreso the vibes." I second his advice: approach this book with a mind open to absurdity and humor. You might like where it takes you. Being a New Yorker, one quote in particular that I thoroughly enjoyed was:

The art of getting ahead in New York was based on learning how to express dissatisfaction in an interesting way.

All too real.

Overall would highly recommend.
