Review
Sacramento Book Review, September 2008
“At times taking shots at low hanging fruit, this humorous guide to being your very own local elitist will probably be used by those very people it attempts to parody.”

Product Description
In today’s fast-paced society, who has time to keep up with both the current trends and the classics of what is “good” and “popular”? The Art of Faking It guides you—with tongue planted firmly in cheek—through any awkward, intellectual, and/or über-sophisticated social situation, using both panache and pithy nuggets of wisdom to ensure you’ll never be at a loss for the right words and attitudes again.
Inside you will find everything you need to know about what everyone is talking about— from ordering the “right” food and drink to holding an intelligent conversation about anything, from classical music and architecture to legitimate theater and the opposite sex. With the timely information and savvy advice in this book, playfully illustrated with New Yorker-esque line drawings, you will be the most scintillating conversationalist in the bunch—whether you are faking it or not!
Author Laurence Whitted-Fry, when not doing Mergers and Acquisitions on a multi-national yet ecologically sound level, can be found scuba-diving in the Amazon, race-car driving in Kabul, or raising prized Arabian stallions on a small island off Italy’s southern coast. He is currently working on a follow-up to his best-selling self-help book, A Guide to Investments After the Rapture.
He resides and teaches Feminist Interpretive Dance (FID), and Swiss Cooking Techniques (SCT) in Manhattan and Woodstock, New York.
来,告诉我,你喜欢哪些经济学家? 郎咸平?你也太庸俗了!哈耶克?天哪,这年头谁还不知道《致命的自负》! 没错,这些耳熟能详的名词都过时了,在21世纪,要把自己伪装成新一代的经济学家,你应该喜欢的人是罗斯巴德(“维克赛尔和米塞斯是奥地利学派的先驱,改变了这个学科...
评分本书适合:喜欢掉书袋但不希望书掉个满地的人;因为没读过的书太多而有职业焦虑的人;想读经典很久但每次翻不到10页就不支倒地的人…… 坦率地讲,我属于上面列出的第三种人。第一次看到《假装的艺术》的介绍,仿佛遇到世外高人,像极了电影《功夫》里的情节:老乞...
评分抛开中二病毒的侵袭不谈,每个人都有被人仰慕的愿望,有姿色的哪怕不能当选全球选美小姐/先生,只要发些靓照从而微博粉丝过六位、或入主“豆瓣有趣人物蜡像馆”也是相当爽利的事情。马斯洛的第五层梦境——自我价值的实现,在这个物价上涨、房东为王的时代,穷酸的文青难以...
评分想装逼的,请看这本书。 想批装逼的,也请看这本书。 装逼且脸皮薄的,更需要这本书了。 倘若谈话的你俩都按着这书的法子来装逼,狭路相逢勇者胜,只有脸皮的厚度才能决定你的勇。据说,用书打脸,能锻炼厚度,有谁练过? 【作者是谁啊?】 这本书的作者叫怀特德-弗莱,...
评分翻了翻此书,突然想起大学时代那段被尊称为二哥的日子。我是全班年龄最小的。班里最大的那年也有21岁,足足比我大了五岁。可是他们从来不叫我小孩,小朋友,而是在直面装逼王和考试时,轻轻的又充满尊敬的叫我一声,二哥。 我们所学的专业里最装逼的莫过于音乐学了。这种东西,...
装X地说,这是一本太。。初级的装X书吧,无论作者意图是要讽刺装X还是教人装X,话题也开展得不够深入不够狠。尤其总让人不由自主拿它和《格调》相比,弱了太多。
评分专业装逼指南= =。。
评分本书中文名叫装13的艺术
