Escape into Meaning

Makes me want to spend some time on a public bench immediately.

Am I biased because of his top notch video essays and the fact he's a fellow Superman fan? You bet. But only a little.

I've always been a fan of his YouTube page so buying his book was an easy choice. Much prefer this over other YouTube merch which I never really have a need for.

This book was fun with some insightful musings. The Emerson chapter was a bit hard to slug through and it's at the beginning of the book which is always a dangerous combo.

I've watched so much Nerdwriter that I heard his voice the whole time I was reading this book. 

An easy to enjoy collection of essays about pop culture, humanity, and the odd places where they intertwine from an essayist that I've admired for awhile now. Probably would've scored higher if more of the cultural touch points that the essays focused on were ones I was actually familiar with (my fault, not Puschak's).
