Well Thank God for THAT: Novelization of Gulliver's Travels

So, this week at Lost in Transcription we'll be rolling out a few new features. The first of these is Well Thank God for THAT, which will cover some of those "current" "events."

If you haven't been to your local bookstore recently, you may have missed the fact that Simon Spotlight has published a novelization of Gulliver's Travels. Now a generation will not be deprived of this Jack Black classic during a power outage that is long enough for their laptops to run out of juice, but not so long that their kindles run out of juice.

If you've never read it, Gulliver's Travels offers an almost swiftian satire of human nature. It focuses particularly on two of our most enduring foibles: (1) being fat, and (2) saying "awesome" a lot.
