Be the first on your block to read Tao Lin’s forthcoming novel, Richard Yates, so you can say that you:

A. Loved it before everybody else did.

B.  Got over it before everybody else did.

C.  Hated it before everybody else did.

Your best bet is to join The Rumpus Book Club.  I’m only telling you this because I get the feeling that 86% of you who talked shit about Shoplifting From American Apparel either never read it, or only like “The Classics.”

Just saying…
