Meeting: Paul Berton on Shopomania

The book features various material possessions, including a burger, dinosaur head, a car and a coffin. All after illustrated and appear inside of a minimalistic drawing of a shopping cart.

Thanks to Heather Woodley for her reactions:

Do you like to shop?  Are you a Shopaholic?

Perhaps you shop for only what you need like the academic, Dallin Oaks, who thinks that what we don’t need will never satisfy us.

Or are you like the Canadian rapper, Drake, an Ultrashopper, who considers shopping to be a high luxury demonstrating the work he has put into creating music.

Then like the Australian actor, Russell Crowe, an Unshopper, you sell 3.7 million dollars worth of your possessions in a five hour auction.

Author Paul Berton examines many different types of shoppers in his sassy, satirical book, Shopomania: Our Obsession With Possessions.

Mr. Berton, guest speaker at the October Probus meeting, in his examination of the many different kinds of shoppers, gave the audience much to ponder about our own particular shopping styles.
