Interesting concept, "a book about nothing", some nice ideas in there, but as a whole it just didn't come together for me. Even at a measly 135 pages, I couldn't wait for it to end, and it took pretty long to read for such a short book. For some reason this stuff works better on Seinfeld than in written form. (Usually, anyway. The "I left the library relieved. Progress was being made. Someone was looking into the problem. Mr. Czaplicki, in Poland, would take it from there" part in the end was strangely familiar to me.)
