Bent Objects: The Secret Life of Everyday Things by Terry Border
My rating: 5/5 cats
once upon a time, i did not know how to fully embrace the power of the internet. i did not know how to do things that you kids take for granted. the result was book reviews like these:
okay, i just spent the last hour going through this guy’s website (www.bentobjects.blogspot.com) instead of reading a textbook chapter entitled: “creating a document” (can you blame me??) and he might be my new favorite human ever! i love this twisted wire/twisted humor combination. there is one in particular that cracks me up (not featured in the book) that i told greg to post for me later. (maybe if i read my computer textbook i could learn to do it myself, but its raining, and there is tea, and its just nice to relax a little for once) but i’m so glad i found this book. i just keep going back to it and looking over all the funny/sad little characters he has created from food and toys and office supplies. and from his website i learned he has a store on etsy.com which i will save for my next batch of school-procrastination. one of my favorites, of course, is “gulliver’s travels,” where tiny little books have trussed and conquered a kindle. also, “belated,” which is just heartbreaking. see for yourself. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!
but now that i know how to post pictures, and since this book was on my mind when i was reviewing My Milk Toof: The Adventures of ickle and Lardee the other day, i decided to fix this terrible review.
lo!
now you can see what i mean when i call “belated” heartbreaking:
and this is gulliver:
lactose intolerant:
i love him
in the process, i learned that he has another book! and as soon as i get my hands on it, i will review it and put even more pictures on the internet! god, i love goodreads! i also spent another hour looking through his blog instead of doing good and responsible things! thanks, internet!
and i also forgot that when he travels, he leaves these little guys behind in hotels or on the street, for people to find. i gotta find me one of these. eyes peeled, friends!
