Author Laurence Whitted-Fry, when not doing Mergers and Acquisitions on a multi-national yet ecologically sound level, can be found scuba-diving in the Amazon, race-car driving in Kabul, or raising prized Arabian stallions on a small island off Italy’s southern coast. He is currently working on a follow-up to his best-selling self-help book, A Guide to Investments After the Rapture.
He resides and teaches Feminist Interpretive Dance (FID), and Swiss Cooking Techniques (SCT) in Manhattan and Woodstock, New York.

总有一些人在你面前装X,自我感觉非常良好地炫弄似是而非的品位,面对这些“上流社会”的假正经和文艺青年的小情调,你可以敬而远之不予理会,但这并不是最好的选择,因为你纵容了他们的肤浅与无知。最好的选择是——用你的学问和见识将他们彻底击垮,让他们从此不敢在你面前显...
评分题记:B是装B者的通行证,也是通往装B者内心的康庄大道。 注:本文为装B文,供批判用,请对号入座。 **老师,***老师,你们的身影在我写此文的过程中不停地在我脑海中浮现。在此一并致谢。 《假装的艺术》一书的最大意义在于,手把手教人们在生活中把自己扮演得更加特立...
评分“你工作上的同事,你原来在工作之中只认识他工作这一面,但是你上他Facebook,你发现他原来喜欢狗,你发现他还喜欢养花,你发现他很讨厌苍井空,我怎么老说苍井空呢……” —— “开卷八分钟”,梁文道 你看,忽然那么一天,到处都开始讲苍井空。仿佛人人都怕落了后,忙不迭...
评分豆瓣7005人评价,当当30182人评价,所以有理由相信这本书已经卖了5万册,甚至可能接近10万册……对这本书的印象最早只是停留在豆瓣读书首页,封面让人印象深刻,但一直没把这书加到书单里。 周一偶然在明复的书架上看到这本书,便随手借。老实说内容其实不怎么接地气,但必须...
评分刘编辑已经为这篇书稿催了我三个星期,为了守住事不过三星期的做人原则,我对正在冬眠的大脑发出召唤,转动一下吧,国家德比都过去一天了,也该想想别的事儿。 刚拿到这本书的时候,我原以为读起来会很吃力,可实际情况却是格外的畅快,有点类似于疏泄,就是拿着一刻也不停的...

Review
Sacramento Book Review, September 2008
“At times taking shots at low hanging fruit, this humorous guide to being your very own local elitist will probably be used by those very people it attempts to parody.”
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
In today’s fast-paced society, who has time to keep up with both the current trends and the classics of what is “good” and “popular”? The Art of Faking It guides you—with tongue planted firmly in cheek—through any awkward, intellectual, and/or über-sophisticated social situation, using both panache and pithy nuggets of wisdom to ensure you’ll never be at a loss for the right words and attitudes again.
Inside you will find everything you need to know about what everyone is talking about— from ordering the “right” food and drink to holding an intelligent conversation about anything, from classical music and architecture to legitimate theater and the opposite sex. With the timely information and savvy advice in this book, playfully illustrated with New Yorker-esque line drawings, you will be the most scintillating conversationalist in the bunch—whether you are faking it or not!
没看完.这种书不在他的文化背景下,很难领会或共鸣.而且术语太多.
评分装X地说,这是一本太。。初级的装X书吧,无论作者意图是要讽刺装X还是教人装X,话题也开展得不够深入不够狠。尤其总让人不由自主拿它和《格调》相比,弱了太多。
评分感觉还不够装是怎么回事…
评分呵呵后其实在围观贱吐槽嘛!
评分O(∩_∩)O哈哈~ 第一本全部看完的英文书~太装了 不过值得一看。
