Opis

Sometimes it seems like we could use a good guidebook telling us what life is all about. How to avoid mistakes. How not to throw the baby out with the ... whatever. How to not ruin a good day with a fairly predictable disaster. Well, sorry, that's not this book. One look at the quotes below from seven of this book's chapters should make it clear that the author managed to have quite a few remarkable follies. And there are twelve additional chapters we're not allowed to quote on this book cover. I Got the Shoulder, but Gave Her the Look "Roughly half of all the girls in the school would ... hand me money." Modern Romance "Hello. You're nice. Do you work? Have a home? Would you like to kiss me?" Cheek to Cheek with a Shark "I signaled Shannon that it was 'okay, ' and to back up slightly, toward the shark." Losing My Medical Virginity "I wondered what the test apparatus was going to be and if it would be painful." My Criminal Career "Something latched onto my ear and raised my body, painfully, upwards." A Millisecond of Film Fame "I made it into the movies, but I had to cheat to do it." My Year of Living Famously "My life may have peaked at age 12." H-rated, for bring a sense of humor. No nudity. Few swear words. Probably not appropriate for children, though. Or teenagers, for that matter. The ideal reader has already had a bit of angst in their life -- and realized that it's survivable. A smile, an insight, or a cheap armchair thrill is what this book does offer you.
