I have had the book So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed since it came out years ago but had never had a moment to read it. Once I did the hooks were in deep and I loved this writer and his writing style. His name is Jon Ronson and he has the most amazing job ever! Since finishing his book I have since bought every other book he has available and have devoured them with a fire. I was sad to have finished all of them and am patiently waiting for his next book. His work is based around being curious and investigating people, places, and events that may not be of much interest to people but he makes them downright magical. The things he investigated I didn’t even think were possible to write about let alone do any sort of investigative journalism! Remember the real life superhero Pheonix Jones? Yeah, Jon Ronson went on patrol with him and begged a cab driver to stay with him when a fight was close to breaking out. He investigated the tragic suicide of a porn actress August Ames and found many threads to a sad story about public shaming gone too far. He drove an Aston Martin car using the same route as James Bond to write about the experience. If you have not read any of his books he is worth the trouble of looking up. His writing not only inspires me to write but to be curious about the world around me and never stop asking questions. Cheers Jon!
