I just finished a long series of books by one of my favourite authors, so I was feeling fiction hung over. Time for a change in reading material! Don't Get Too Comfortable is a fairly privileged dude snarking about fairly privileged things. Given I am a fairly privileged lady, I found it to be hilarious. It's fluff with some social commentary tidbits, and a whole lot of distain.

A nice, short read. David is sardonic and dry throughout, with occasional gems of true Wisdom.
