Bad Or, the Dumbing of America by Paul Fussell

Bad Or, the Dumbing of America by Paul Fussell this is an encyclopedia of things that are BAD. BAD things are not just lousy like a bookcase that falls apart that would be just bad what makes things BAD is that the bookcase is actually held in high regard. This was published back in the early nineties so if anything it's gotten a lot worse since then. The entries often scathing are hilarious attacking all sorts of things including books, architecture and Navy missile firings. Not surprisingly much of the criticism comes off as snobbery but it's still quite enjoyable.
