Book Smart

“Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring,” by Zach Plague

Beach reading? As if. Try beach texting/tanning/ scoping.

Clearly those UVs have zapped your attention span.

Zach Plague caters to those with fleeting ADD. His debut novel, Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring Boring, is a story about sex, drugs, and misadventures in art school — mixing illustrations, handwritten elements, and more than 100 fonts.

The hybrid typo/graphic novel is full of appendixes and side stories that you can flip to at random. Jump in anywhere for quirky character studies or definitions of words such as beeramid (a pyramid of empty beer cans).

The book has been published in five formats: book, CD, downloadable eBook, online, and poster series.

So you can follow the story from any place you like.

And just focus on being entertained.
