[Discussion 1/1] Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi
Welcome to our discussion of Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi, also called "Everybody Poos" in British English and "Minna Unchi" in Japanese. Some of you may be confused: why are we discussing this book? Well, it turns out, it was a Runner-Up Read: at some point, it had been voted Number 2.
This book illustrates that everyone poops by showing a wide variety of animals and humans pooping. However, as someone with irritable bowel syndrome, I am disappointed with the book's lack of IBS representation. George Orwell famously said "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." I say "Everyone poops, but some of us are more poops than others."
Still, I am happy to see pooping representation in this book. Have you ever noticed that most of the books that we read here at r/bookclub don't have any pooping scenes in them? I am glad that I could rectumfy that by sharting this book with you.
