Stalking the catalogue: The history of the world according to Facebook

"Ah, Facebook. We all make fun of it, and we're all on it. If the Facebook community - 600 million strong - were a country, it would rank third in population, and last in spelling ability."

The history of the world according to Facebook by Wylie Overstreet

I spend a fair bit of my time online. Doing all kinds of things. Probably, for the most part, I'm updating a status in some place, some where, so coming across Overstreet's book is like receiving a birthday present I never knew I wanted. Think on it: wall posts from the beginning of time. the Serpent creating a Facebook event to tempt Eve to eat the apple (and her response "Sorry, I'm on a master cleanse!"), Cleopatra listing 'eyeliner' as an interest, Romeo and Juliet professing their love for each other (Oh babe you're so amazing. luv u <3) or even Marie Antoinette not knowing "who" Democracy is (Ooo, Guillotine? Is he like a new designer?). I'm hoping that Overstreet's book can give me ALL THE GIGGLES. (Yes, capslock needed).

Like it. Ask it to be your friend. Share it.
