I hate myself and I want to die

Don't worry folks, I'm not suicidal. It's just the title of the latest book I've read. And it's hilarious!

"I Hate Myself and I Want to Die" is an analysis of the 52 most depressing songs of all time. Amazingly no Smiths' songs made it on to the list. Cure fans will be comforted to know that "Prayer for Rain" is listed as being monumentally depressing.

The book is divided into helpful categories such as "Teenage Car Crashes", "I Didn't Realise that Song was so Morbid" or "People will take me seriously if I sing about drugs". This last category features a song by Hootie and The Blowfish. The last category is "Perfect Storms" and reveals that the most depressing song of all time, for so many reasons, is.... But you will have to read for yourself because you must all buy this book, or at least borrow it from me.

It is $19.95 at your nearest ABC shop. I don't know why it is sold there as I can't see a connection with any ABC programme.
