    A hilarious examination of faux pas for fans of Allie Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half and Jenny Lawson's Let's Pretend This Never Happened.  
    Humankind is doomed. Especially you. It's already too late. From overstaying your welcome at a party to leaving passive-aggressive Post-its on your roommate's belongings to letting your date know the extent of the Internet reconnaissance you did on them - you're destined to embarrass yourself again and again. In You Blew It!, Josh Gondelman, comedian and cocreator of the Modern Seinfeld twitter account, teams up with Joe Berkowitz, an equally wry and ruthless social observer, to dissect a range of painfully hilarious faux pas. Breaking down the code violations of modern culture - particularly our fervent, ridiculous addiction to technology - Gondelman and Berkowitz will keep you laughing as they explore how social blunders are simply part of the mystery that is you.

    A Midwesterner contemplates the view of America from a remote Icelandic village: “A pleasure to read and ponder.” —Booklist (starred review) 
     
    A Minnesotan of Icelandic ancestry, Bill Holm had traveled all over the world, gathering material for a number of rich and memorable books. Then he decided to journey to the land his family had long ago left behind for the United States, and moved into a town with one general store in a nation of a few hundred thousand people. This book recounts his time at Brimnes, his fisherman’s cottage on the shore of a creek in northern Iceland. There, he embarks on a very different life in a very different world, and from thousands of miles away, considers the fate of America—“my home, my citizenship, my burden”—in these provocative, compelling essays. 
     
    “A master storyteller.” —Los Angeles Times 
     
    “Bill Holm’s life in [this] place of spare beauty will make readers wish they had a Brimnes where they could restore their souls.” —Pioneer Press (St. Paul)
