I'm honestly having so much fun getting out in my neighborhood and completing quests

I appreciate you.

Third vote for Silverbullet here. I'm really enjoying using it.

These are called "aptroynms" and Wikipedia has a great list of them and also inaptroyms. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aptronym

My coach used to tell the story of a really promising track and field athlete who might have had a serious shot on the world scene, but quit to play in his band called The Barenaked Ladies. I never fact checked that, so I have no idea if it was true or not. But it stuck with me because it made me think of all the people who might have been incredible in one field or another who just never gave it a shot.

Yeah, that's exactly my first thought while reading this. If I rewrote the list of achievements above to sound like I was claiming they all happened to me, and then posted it to twitter, it would be indistinguishable from most other "🙄 that happened" posts.

People will be saying similar stuff about Taylor Swift in 100 years; by definition being legendary means being unreal.

I suppose it depends on how good of a writer you are.

Some writers can say things we all know so well that it's like we're finally understanding it for the first time. Some writers have a knack for delivering facts or prose with the perfect dose of humor; it's not what they say, but how they say it that is valuable.

I suppose the question of what merits a book has is more complicated than just "does this book push the envelope of human knowledge", huh?

I have a couple of books by Zach Weinersmith and they are entertaining and interesting.

I believe you're missing the point of this book. I also believe you're being a bit of a prat. I don't know, however, if those two things are connected.
