By Angela Haupt Angela Haupt Freelance writer Bio Follow Freelance Writer May 7 at 2:00 PM If you’re going to write a book about sucking, you need to be qualified. A unique area of specialty, but Karen Rinaldi — by all accounts a successful writer and publisher — is well-suited. She’s a passionate surfer whose skills, which are not expected to improve significantly, might generously be called “mediocre.
Author Karen Rinaldi. Of course, we all already suck at something; to think otherwise, Rinaldi helpfully advises, is “delusional.” But unless we really care about that something, it doesn’t count here. Rinaldi is championing the continued pursuit of a hobby that we may improve at over time but will never truly shine at. Like your neighbor’s daily guitar practice, which is . . . diligent .
While talent is clearly useful, it’s hard to argue with Rinaldi’s logic that there’s more to life than usefulness. Sucking “has a bad rap. It’s a reputation thing,” she writes. “There’s nothing inherently unpleasant about being substandard at something. . . . It’s just that our culture maligns and mocks ineptitude.”

Boeing waited until after Indonesian plane crash to inform FAA of 737 Max safety reviewSoon after it started delivering 737 MAX jets in 2017, Boeing found that one of its suppliers had delivered flight control software without a safety feature. It convened an internal committee to investigate the issue but didn't tell regulators until after the plane was involved in a deadly plane crash in October 2018.
