Squat by John Safran. What a wild ride that was 😆
This is the fourth Safran book I've read, and I've gotta say this one was my favourite. He's matured as an author, but maintains his childish nature and curiosity. He started writing this book after finding out that singer Kanye West had come out as anti-Semitic and had generally gone off the rails and made some very questionable life choices. Without spoiling too much, John finds one of Kanye's mansions in America abandoned and decides to move it. Hilarity and chaos ensues.
I found this book hard put down, even if it was just to see what John was going to do next.

I enjoyed this book, especially the descriptions of Kalgoorlie and Fremantle.
