Hm. i have mixed feelings about this book. I love the idea so much. It is about a guy who is sick of being intelligent to the point of exhaustion and instead decides to "become" stupid. This idea is amazing, and even though I am not the genius like the main character, sometime I feel the same way. However, I think SO much more could be done with this book. I feel like the road to becoming stupid was too small. Like all he did was start taking anti-depressants and then ended up getting a job at a stock brokerage company and get rich. I mean technically when he was "stupid" his life was more of a success in American standards. I guess that message is great though; that the ideal life isn't exactly ideal, that maybe a messed up life is better. See, I am just unsure about this book. Even though I like it, if it was a little different and maybe a little longer, I could see myself LOVING it. I'm going to let myself ruminate on this.
