I tend to trust books like How to Be a Saint when they sound built for readers who want inviting recommendations with strong sensory appeal rather than for everyone in the abstract.

In humor and fiction, I keep looking for books that understand the book’s most recommendable trait and do not settle for bland competence.

If the execution matches the setup, this becomes the kind of recommendation I would pass along quickly and mean it. Sourcebooks has it listed for 19-Aug-2025.
