I'm walking in the book store and I see standard books with standard titles. And I cant help but notice the amount of books that begin with "How to". EVEN books that have no intention of telling you how to do anything. This is just the authors way of saying:
"Hello consumer. I see you're on your way to purchasing a book. Well why not buy this one? After all, look at how clever the author is by deciding to label it a how to book when clearly its not. OH I'VE PULLED A FAST ONE ON YOU, CONSUMER! MY CLEVERNESS AND CAPACITY FOR WIT KNOWS NO BOUNDS! Surely I'm going to win some sort of prize for my originality. Oh, wait. Hold on a second. It appears that EVERY OTHER GODDAMN BOOK is using the same failing attempt at humor. I guess I'm a douchebag after all."
Anyways, I'm sure that goes through the mind of every author at some point.
After all, who needs a book to figure out how to live. wtf.
