Need a book that's not a slog for a flight. Maybe something fun and funny. Not a huge sci-fi guy. The last books I read were Strange Houses and Strange Pictures, which were okay, but I'm mostly an autofiction guy when I'm stuck on a plane. Something voicey and fucked up, please, thank you.

Hmm... "The presence of the cameras in Mr. Epstein’s living area conflicts with what federal prosecutors in New York said last year. In a memo to top F.B.I. officials, they said they had not found surveillance cameras in Mr. Epstein’s bedroom or anywhere else besides the town house’s entryway."

There used to be this game in the sixties where we divided the world into creeps and assholes. Like Nixon=creep, LBJ=asshole. How would it apply today? Trump = asshole Musk = creep JD Vance = asshole Marco Rubio = creep etc.
