Autobiography of a loser

Back when I used to think I might want to write a book to read, rather than consult, I realized all of Borges ideas for books lie beyond my lazy reach, Dick has a better mind, and non-fiction would involve the kind of deep research that produces a Pavlovian procrastination reaction.

One remaining idea I summed up as "autobiography of a loser." A self-absorbed, embarrassing-even-while-auto-derisive protagonist, saved only by your feelings of superiority. Then I realized it would have to be humorous, and decided to go to bed.
