According to Christian Lander, the idea behind his popular blog "Stuff White People Like" began when a "shamelessly racist" friend advised him not to trust white people that don't watch The Wire.

Some things whit people are said to like are:

BOOK READINGS: "As far as an activity goes, there are few that can beat a book reading. Classical Music or Opera? Too snooty. Concert? Not interactive enough. Sporting Event? Are you kidding me? Book readings are intimate, personal and more obscure."

BOB MARLEY: "I am actually working on a post about this right now. I say that many colleges around the U.S. are considering just painting the Bob Marley Legend poster on every dorm room wall to save the cost (both financial and environmental) of having white students put it up and then take it down year after year. Advanced white people like Burning Spear or Peter Tosh, but without a doubt, white people like reggae and hope to examine it one day from the safe confines of a Jamaican resort."

Not long after starting his hilarious blog, Stuff White People Like, Christian Lander got a book deal (#92). And now he's coming to Chattanooga, for a signing at Rock Point Books on January 31 (7:00 - 9:00pm).
