All the Trouble in the World

by P.J. O'Rourke

"I’m always asked for book recommendations but am reluctant to give them. “All the Trouble in the World” was an amazing book by @PJORourke. He‘s also a master stylist of distinctly American English. Politics aside, I envy more of his sentences than of anyone else writing today."
