This book...it is really something special.
George Carlin once talked about the way he came up with his material. He said there were two worlds. The "BIG" world, which involves lofty concepts like politics, and global issues stuff.
The second world, the "SMALL" world, dealt with more personal things. Observations on the self, existentialism, and what not.

You live in Chicago. You have been dumped by your girlfriend. She has left you with an empty apartment. You have a job similar to that of a stock clerk at Target. You don't really have any friends, and spend much of your time alone, or with your ex-girlfriend who keeps popping up randomly, or engaging in meaningless yet amusing conversations with co-workers, or buying a child's mattress so you have something to sleep on. This is your life. Enjoy.

I'm not a writer, so it's difficult for me to criticize a book when I've written nothing more than a Facebook post that people actually find funny.

I gave it three stars because I respect the urge to create something totally different, but I couldn't help but to feel that this book was written in this style because the author couldn't resist the urge to use the word "you."

This is a sequel to Person written like a sperm. Cause it's heavy in the front but it wiggle tails real light toward the end. If you read Person and wanted more than open your mouth and swallow this.

1) When he says uh-oh. I kinda fast-read to get to the parts where he says uh-oh, so I could just giggle manically for awhile.
2) When the girl says "red light". [spoiler alert, a girl says "red light" in No Hellos Diet] that was sweet and made More...

I made a video of me reading the first half of this book out loud: http://vimeo.com/29996731
Then I read the second half to myself. Mostly while walking around town.
It is similar to Person but also different in many ways.
May fav part was when when the main person was hanging out with Sour Cream

I don't even know how to describe this book except the guy it is about, I kind of want to give him a hug, but I kind of don't.
