Passive Aggressive Notes: Painfully Polite and Hilariously Hostile Writings
by Kerry MillerHarperCollins Publishers, 176 pp., $13.95
What it aims to do: Capitalize on the huge success of source blog PassiveAgressiveNotes.com (winner of South by Southwest's 2008's Best Blog award) and collect the very best in acid-tongued communications between neighbors, roommates, even best friends in one portable, paperback volume.
What it says about you: You're part of the Overshare Generation. Tweet tweet.
The randomizer: Page 75 – "Dear #2534, If your dog continues to bark past midnight, I will break into your home, steal it, and feed the little fucker to the homeless on Pearl Street. Happy Holidays, RF." Where's the passive in that?
Best accessorized with: The porcelain goddess. It's really more of a bathroom book – but everybody knows the bathroom book is the new coffeetable book.
