I Hate Myself and Want to Die

05/02/06
. (Hyperion) Does the opening "pling pling plinggg" of Bette Midler's �The Rose' fill you with existential dread? Do you cringe at the mere whiff of what Phil Collins is spewing �In the Air Tonight?' Have you ever bolted from a restaurant because Celine Dion's cover of �All By Myself' was threatening to drive you over the edge? Well, turn around, bright eyes � because Tom Reynolds is here with I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE, a laugh-out-loud-til-you're sobbing compendium of the world's most hideously depressing pop songs � and a guide to what makes them so heartwrenchingly, earsplittingly sad and bad. With chapters like �I Was a Teenage Car Crash,' �I'm Trying to be Profound and Touching but Really Suck At It,' �Perfect Storms,' and �I Mope, Therefore I Am,' Reynolds details the history of melodic misery, from the days of Bobby Darin to the era of Evanescence. Complete with a ranked �Countdown of Doom' and wonderfully dreary drawings, I HATE MYSELF AND WANT TO DIE is the one book that fans and foes of woeful tunes won't want to live without.
