Did you know that fast food used to be called fast foods in 1977? And citizens band radios was a big deal?

some odd references i don't understand. the author is canadian though.

Strange

I like how this book is so positive. Anytime you think someone might start to feel bad or even just uneasy, it ends up switching to positive. Very inspirational.

I genuinely like all of the spelling mistakes in this book. The author made the mistakes, and none of the people at the publishers called them out, or cared enough to change them. Just printed the book.

Makes me think that I, too, could have been a fantastic Girl Talk writer.

I love this book. In today's pages the main character Sabrina finds her teacher's secret labratory at the school, he almost hits her in his 60's car (which may or may not have a human hand sticking out of the trunk), and the auditions for the movie her brother has come back from college to make have started. "Sabs" has four or five brothers, and they have dreamy friends. One is even staying at her house for a week.

This book has a chaotic vibe and I'm here for it.

Nobody does it like Barthe.

God I miss the 80s.

Beer, fights, Seattle! This book has it all.

God I miss the 80s. .. beer, Seattle, fights! This book is amazing omg. The author is like 100 years old apparently and still lives in Lynnwood. I want to visit her.

I already love this book.

Fascinating.

This has got to be the weirdest premise for a book. There's a smelly sneaker competition that they're trying to win, and they're going around smelling each other's shoes... Maybe good if you have a foot fetish.

I wonder if people consider this in RL Stine's top five. It flows really well and is tightly written.

someone wrote this about me

This book almost tries too hard. I don't mind the effort though. It's keeping me entertained.

This book is weird but entertaining. I think I like it.

Zany radical 90s book

It's a bit preachy, awkwardly written in places, but I like the family relationships.

I learned two words:

Weft- often referred to in "warp and weft" , the horizontal and vertical lines in weaving. I think.

Stewbum- a drunk bum, often a vagrant. Going to use that one on my friends.

Enjoyability: mid tier pike so far, could go either way for the second half of the book. Feels like a long setup, so that's promising.

it's okay

Collection of short stories geared towards men at that time (late 60s/70s), non-sexual, guessing they were featured in the magazine.
