Man About Town by Mark Merlis was about a middle aged man being left by his partner of 15 years. He ruminates about his mistakes and tries the dating scene again in his late 40's to find a different world. It was interesting to me to read something about a previously partnered man dealing with divorce and trying to fit himself back into the gay community as an older man. Definitely not a topic written about often. Next I think he should write about a gay man in a gay nursing home mulling his life and how he spent it. It was witty at times, intelligent and well written through out, but tended to talk too much detail about health care (the main character is an information spout for Medicare to major politicians).

I read this book back in elementary school, and I'm reading it again for one of my edu. classes and I still love it...especially the sayings that have multiple meanings, and the play on words.

Wow, this is a great argument against the self-publishing industry. The best argument for self-publishing is that gems that may not appeal to large publishing houses can actually get published. The downside is that anyone can publish anything, no matter how bad it is. One would have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince, and this book is a very slimy and warty frog. With a fungal disease. The book, itself, is just a straight copy/paste from a blog written by a woman who is having difficulties finding someone to have a “relationship” with. The blogs seem to be chosen at random (there are several “chapters” that refer to things that had been posted about before, but were not included with the book). There is no editing. All of the run-ons, fragments, misspellings, abuse of homophones/heterographs and general cruelty to the English language have been left fully intact. The chapters are (as mentioned) directly from a blog, extra carriage returns and all (so a sentence, carriage return, carriage return, another sentence, more extraneous carriage returns). If you removed the extra chapter “highlight quote” page that precedes many chapters and did some formatting, this book would be one third the original length. On the upside, this means you don’t have as nearly as much to read (it can be completed in less than 2 hours, even with distractions). Most of the blog entry chapters are done in a drunken state, and all of them have severe typos and grammatical errors that come with inebriation (in addition to the inability to write well). I’ve read some very good books where the speaking voice (errors and all) is created to advance the narrative, but in this case, it’s just sloppy and annoying. The content is both sad and irritating. If you want to see what it’s like to live in total sexist/stereotype tropes, this is a great book. Women are all poor, misguided hopeful romantics who bitch or nag, unless the woman is in a relationship, and then she's a bitch, bar-whore, and/or manipulative whore of some variety, and Men are all evil, horrible, uncaring, pussy-searching assholes who never call back. Most of the entries aren’t even about dating, and are not funny. They’re the verbal (er, written) lashing out of a bitter, insecure, angry and immature young woman. The book is a little misleading, because it’s not actually about 1000 days of celibacy. It’s about someone who couldn’t find someone to have a relationship (or sex) with for 950+ days and then started a blog. So there are a few “celibate” days there, and there are a few entries about one night stands and the day after sex (clearly, not celibacy). If you want to read books about hilarious dating mishaps or the struggle to find a soul mate (or any mate, I suppose), there are plenty of books out there that are funny and well written. If you want to save yourself the money or library trip, do some googling, there are plenty of good blogs or columns that cover dating which are much more entertaining and insightful.

Interesting book, I really didn't enjoy reading the depravity of human life, but I could see where it was taking me....

I have been a Joy of Cooking user and fan for the past 30 years. So I was eager and excited to read this book. The author did an excellent job of writing and researching the topic of this book. Having said that, I didn't really enjoy reading it. I found myself disliking the main characters. That made finishing the book feel tedious and uncomfortable. I respect the accomplishment of writing and publishing the Joy of Cooking. I don't like or respect the people themselves though. Their character is acrimonious, Petty, and generally self indulgent. I definitely did not enjoy reading about the numerous family squabbles and quarrels with the publishers. That may be what happened, but it doesn't make for pleasant reading. I can tell the author had a great amount of respect for the people she wrote about. I do not mean to say she is a bad writer. I think she did a good job. My reactions are about the people themselves.

this book is definitely a fast-paced thriller, which I couldn't put down. I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens in the end.

I liked this book. It wasn't as gripping as Living Dead Girl, so it took me a little longer to get through. There was a bit of a twist, but I think more experienced readers will figure it out pretty early on. I definitely have girls to whom I will recommend this book--fans of Scott's other books and fans of Gail Giles should enjoy this.

Book Summary: To-Do List Kill Casey Lattimer. Let Larry destroy Gary, once and for all. Feed my great white shark and sand-trap serpent. Fall in love with someone who isn’t insensitive and self-absorbed. Find the Holy Grail of orgasms. Fine, I’ll be serious. My Actual To-Do list. Buy ice cream, and find a real happy ending, outside of my own imagination… I have to start by saying that the book summary does not do this original story justice! When I started My Novel Affair I expected a regular Chick Lit style read. Well, it is great Chick Lit but so much fun and so very clever. OK, try and stay with me here. Sinara Ellis is the author of The Detective Lattimer Series which contains six installments thus far. Sinara Ellis is also the main character in My Novel Affair. Sinara is tired of Detective Casey Lattimer who is the main character in her popular Detective Lattimer Series. Casey gets all the attention. She is tough, sexy, gritty and sexually free. She has all the fun and pays no emotional price for it. Sinara, however, never sees her golf playing, insensitive, no sexual talent husband who also happens to be her editor. His only apparent interest in Sinara is whether she is meeting her deadline on the next Lattimer installment. How else can he golf at all the exclusive courses? Dreadfully fed up with her Lattimer Series, Sinara considers killing her off but knows that her agent and her husband will cause trouble. On a book tour, Sinara finds a Bodice-Ripper Romance and decides that is what she really wants. To write a funny, passionate romance. Enter Alexis Perry. The main Character of Sinara's next book...and also a main character in this one as well. What follows is a rip roaring adventure of two, (or is it three?), women looking to find romance and a slice of life to make them excited again. To refresh their careers and renew themselves. I was enchanted and entertained. This story switches seamlessly between Sinara and Alexis. I could not wait to see how it would end and I have become a huge fan of Sinara Ellis in the process. Both of them!
