Review of
Readers’ Favorite Graffiti,
by Marina N. Haan, Richard B. Hammerstrom, ISBN 0960453423
Five out of five stars
The premise of
this book is that the contents were gleaned from bathroom stalls, nearly all
were discovered somewhere in university buildings. They are short and often
witty snippets, sometimes to the point of being hilarious. A wide variety of
aspects of the human condition are covered, from being gay, to academic angst
to just being frustrated and even mad at the world. In other words, a microcosm
of human frailties and emotions.
Since many were
transcribed from bathroom walls, it is fitting that one of the best uses for
this book is as bathroom reading. For it is easy to relax the mind and hence
the digestive muscles by reading a few pages from this book, making the flow
smoother and easier.
