Books There Goes My Recurring Slog Feature Idea
posted by on August 14 at 13:30 PM
Enter the Octopus has posted a video in which a man with a plastic bag on his head reviews a book. Maybe the idea is that you have to make the review brief so that you don’t pass out from hyperventilation?
I have to admit, I still couldn’t tell you what book he reviewed because I was way too nervous about the possibility of watching him accidentally die. Still, tune in next week, when I begin my “Man Reviews Books With a Loaded Shotgun Shoved in His Mouth” series on Slog.
Well I'm not going to watch it if he doesn't die.

I prefer the one where he bungie jumps while reviewing the book.
At the end of the tether, the book goes one way, the reviewer the other.
In a related incident, I almost died from misreading the lab manual in my Respiration lab (Did that really just say hyperventilate for three minutes into a bag?)
Mr. Poe is right on the money.
That said, you definitely should start a vlog. Maybe you could only review terrible books, and shred the book on-camera as you review it?
My friend and I were talking about starting a book review video feature a la Jezebel's "Pot Psychology" where we just get sloshed and argue about books.
Speaking of which, this could happen TONIGHT if you come to Slog Happy Hour, Paul.
I'm there, exelizabeth. With books, even.
Maybe we could get Charles to guest review In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, in a running car, inside a sealed garage.
