College!
If you know a well adjusted white guy on Long Island who just turned 18, finished his senior year of college, this is the book to give him as a going away present.
In my slightly wounded state of being out of college a year a missing is dreadfully, this book reminds me of the little quaint occurrences you might notice throughout college. Nothing that'll make or break your life - it's just what college is to the typical guy.

The musings, anecdotes and events of a very interesting young man's four years at college. The beginning is very funny because he is having a bunch of very universal experiences and encountering all sorts of people. The later part of the book was only so much fun because it was almost all about drinking. I can only relate so much since college was more to me than just alcohol.
Hilarious. I've re-read this several times, and pulled quotes from it several times too.
Something for everyone with campus life, party life, study abroad, coming home for break life, etc.

If I could give this a 2.5 I would. It wasn't horrible, I guess I just wanted it to be better. I love the Ruminations E-mails. And I've even seen Aaron Karo's stand up and stayed out way to late with him on a school night (when i had to go to real job the next day!) But this wasn't all that funny. I guess his emails just seem so spontaneous and funny.
That said, there were a few parts that definitely laughed out loud at. Maybe I'm just too old to laugh at how crazy I was in coll...more

This book has it's funny moments. It's funny for people that are almost done with college or people that are done with college. A lot of the things that I did in college I found in this book and it was just hilarious that virtually every college campus, whether big ten or ivy league 'throws down' exactly the same. Seeing his stand-up, he was virtually the same as he was in the book.
This is the most amusing thing I've read in a long time. Amusing, because I don't suppose I should just believe everything the man has to say. I guess it differs from one person to another. But even if there were cultural differences and such, one can still relate to the things in the book - the situation, the reactions, even the dialogues. It's a very pleasurable read. :)
Very funny book. His obervational humor make him the Seinfeld of college. Books are much better than his standup
Drink alot, chase drunk chicks, vomit, email story to friends, repeat.
i laughed my butt off!
