Possible Reasons Why Ray Fucking Davies’ Biography Is 1900 Pages Long

IMG_4198

  • Publisher is trying to go out of business like in The Producers, and half the pages are blank.
  • Ray Davies was secretly Margaret Thatcher.
  • “Johnny Rogan” pen name for William T. Vollman.
  • Only ten words per page.
  • A dare?
  • Author’s previous book: How to Conquer Writer’s Block.
  • You think this is long, you should see the book about Dave.
  • 400-page tangent about the history of Greenland.
  • Typesetter accidentally pressed the “double-space” button.
  • Is it possible that Ray Davies is fascinating?
  • Also contains the Spanish, French, and Mandarin translations of itself.
  • Author didn’t have the courtesy to break his obsessive logorrhea into smaller chunks–like, say, on a blog–which hid the scope of his madness.

      Manly. Strong wrist.

        Good grip on that. ToTD’s Left Hand Rule of Tomes.

    What about the possibility that Kinks are ‘f’in awesome and each single needs a couple of hundred words, at least? I mean–I wish I could be like David Watts.

    As the song goes, I’m not like everybody else

      Nothing bad to say about the Kinks: it’s just that I have a two-volume bio of Teddy Roosevelt that isn’t that thick.

        Dave Davies book is only 288 pages……

          Sadly, Super Dave’s book is out of print….
