Currently I am reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, a giant book with two large swastikas, one on the front and one on the back. I am sure this does wonders for sales, but it does not advertise itself well. Awkwardnesses abound:
"So I was reading Rise and Fall today while listening to Abba."
"The swastika is on the bookshelf next to the bong."
While working at Baskin-Robbins, I take the book out sideways and leave it open when I'm serving customers so they don't see my blond hair and forget to tip.
Help! All I want to do is learn about history, but it's turning my life into a protracted nazi joke that I can't stop telling despite whatever objections of taste I may have and I still have over a thousand pages to go.
