Reminds me of "The Diaries of Adrian Mole" by Sue Townsed. At least the first 2 volumes, while the mc is in high school where he play pretends he's an intellectual when instead he's....Bob.TheProgressive wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2017 2:16 pmI instantly turn off anyone who professes to be an "intellectual" because all it represents to me is a snob who just sits on their accumulated knowledge like a slothful dragon on a pile of gold thinking that they are above other people. These people are rarely adaptable or intelligent in any meaningful way and the only interesting things they have to say are words parroted from people who ACTUALLY achieved things with their lives.
In Bob's case, that accumulated knowledge is so small, trivial and lowbrow that he just comes off as laughable.
Between him and Ignatius C Reilly, I don't believe Bob is a person any more, it has to be a sleeper agent or a CIA psyops.
