Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake?

Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing?

Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay?

Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them?

These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats. Funny, provocative and shot through with refreshing amounts of common sense, Thinking About It Only Makes It Worse celebrates and commiserates on the state of things in our not entirely glorious modern world.

The author makes clear from the beginning that this is a compilation of columns from many years ago. Although the content is humourous, some of the context is lost through the passage of time.

Interesting but rather dated content

The main downside to this book is that I basically went around smirking for several days while commuting. Some of articles could have been grouped together better, but if you find David Mitchell funny (both on panel shows or on Peep Show) then this book - and Mitchell's performance of it) will have you stitches.

Basically I laughed on the tube. A lot

Wwonderfully entertaining, poignant with astute observations.

While not as hilarious a I expected. I was informed and always eager to resume listening ! hardly a chore to finish but a pleasure.

In true David Mitchell style

A brilliant book, excellently read. If you support brexit or remain or the tories, labour, Lib Dem’s or UKIP, you will probably find something to get upset about but that’s most likely your own failings, not the authors.

I did occasionally look like a maniac whilst laughing out loud in public, for seemingly no reason which I didn’t enjoy. 10/10

Well needed perspective

Good book to fill 20 minutes after that it gets a little boring, listen before bed David's voice will help put you to sleep,
