To read Wow, No Thank You is to continue learning more about Irby’s bodily issues and personal hygiene choices (some of which, in this new era of Extreme Hand Washing, read like a time capsule from a hundred years ago). Fortunately, as much as Irby’s circumstances have changed since her breakout book Meaty, getting married and moving to Kalamazoo hasn’t changed the voice which broke out of blogging to become one of our funniest essayists. The genre lives or dies based on what’s happening in those inner lives. Personal essays like the ones Samantha Irby writes have a clear purpose: to inform the reader, in great detail, about the author’s inner life. ![]() ![]()

The most serious flaw is that is has been trimmed about 1/2 cm. ![]() The original dustjacket by Alvin Lustig is first issue (priced at $2.75 on the lower front flap and I would grade it good plus to very good minus. Otherwise the interior is clean and no text is affected - no marking, underlining, previous owner writing, etc. 307-314 (and a tiny bit on a few of the preceding pages. There is what looks like a small grease stain at the lower corner, affecting the fore-edges of pp. On the verso the rear endpage is the small remnant of what looks like a bookplate (about 2 & 1/2" long by 1/2" deep). Inside the book, there is some offsetting to the pastedowns and endpages (a few small stains on the front end page as well) and each pastedown has a gash in the paper about 2" long descending from the top edge (I have no explanation for this but the pastedown is not detached). Overall, I would grade the book as very good minus - however, it presents as near fine from the outside. (Note: photos on request!) The book, with clean cloth covers, tight binding and sharp corners (one mildly tapped) has a thin strip (about 1/2 cm.) of darkened cloth on the upper spine tip. Both book and jacket have flaws, of varying degrees of seriousness, which I am going to describe as carefully as possible. First US edition, first printing (no additional printings noted).

I say, we've always watched Sci-Fi movies when we know they are not true, why don't we give a try to some spiritual movies? For most of the people today, they would be only as true as the sci-fi. It's not a must watch movie but I would recommend it. Movie says, it's based on a true story but when there's talking about Jesus, it becomes a Christian's story, not universal. They could have taken the lines of Bible or so, in order to have a factual conversations. It would have been better if they had gone deeper than this. Whatever, the story and the concept touched my heart. They don't actually make us believe in the existence of heaven (or hell), but the good thing about the movie is that, they've kept an effort to show how the world would react when something extraordinary happens. The movie talks about it, but it's only from a Christian's point of view. ![]() Sometimes, I want to believe in it but something always stops me from doing so. Everyone has heard about it, but nobody wants to believe in its existence. When it comes talking about heaven and hell, we just start ignoring the fact that they might exist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When it comes to creativity of book format and style, it seems like Bob Ong never runs out of ideas. I have only read two of his books before this books and that is MacArthur and Alamat ng Gubat. In order, Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin is his ninth book. His way of pinpointing the fault in the system is what I consider as unique. His books are insights congealed with humour. His books have become the staple source of information for those who wants to get a picture of the real situation of the Philippines. ![]() His books are always, to a certain degree, will make you feel guilty about your actions and be an agent of change yourself. His works are always an eye-opener to the situation of the Philippines and the flaws in our system. I consider him as one of the agents of change. Despite writing in a pseudonym and his identity is yet to be revealed, Bob Ong is one of the most influential authors in the Philippines today. ![]() ![]() ![]() Notes from the Director Something Sensational to read in the train
