esquire presents...

recently got esquire presents what it feels like... which was pretty good but surprisingly a bit of a disappointment as well. you see, i'd never actually seen the book before i bought it. i just found out about it from somewhere online and thought it looked really cool. and then i bought it on ebay. anyway, the content of the book was pretty good. some good topics. wat it feels like to be in a tornado, be a mob hitman, be in an orgy, go thru an exorcism, have a sever stutter, change from a male to a female (and vice versa), get shot in the head, give birth, be an albino... but the actual accounts were pretty bad. there's not a lot of actual description. the whole basis of the book is that they tell you wat it feels like so you don't have to go thru the same experience. but even after reading it you don't feel like you've lived thru any of it! well, the walking on the moon one was pretty good. and so wat the giving birth one. and starving... anyway. some are good, some are bad. but some are appallingly bad. each one is very short anyway. maybe only 200 words, if even that. and even then they don't always get right to the point. at any rate. it was a pretty interesting read, if not particularly good. i say... read it, but don't buy it.
