I read this while living in San Francisco and while I didn't love living in San Francisco, I did really enjoy this book. Plus, hello cute cover!
Also, not sure about you, but I found i started to kind of talk like its main character.
Although, I am kind of having trouble remembering how he spoke.
It's been a while.(less)

Another "Live in New York City while floundering, I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do here so I'll drink a lot and have sex with trashy dudes and ladies and live in a 200 square foot apartment and whine a lot."
But, get this? This book didn't annoy me! It's quite good. And before you know it, you're totally rooting for this guy.(less)

I dated a guy back in high school who went on and on about this book and how it CHANGED HIS LIFE, MAN! I was young—16 and 17. I was suspicious about this guy, but whatever. I was young and impressionable and he had an original pressing of The Velvet Underground and Nico—you know, the one that Andy Warhol did with the banana?
Anyway, he loved this book (the guy I dated, not Andy).
Then one day he purchased it for me. And I read it and was bored to tears by it. And when he asked me if I liked it, I was all, "Yeah, man. It's soooooo good." Because that's what you're supposed to say when you're young and stupid and you want some guy's banana.
But man, this book didn't do anything for me. It certainly didn't change my life.
Oh, and Mike? You can take that banana and this book and shove it right up your own ass. (less)

I read this book in a weekend. It's really quite good. If it doesn't make you want to flee from New York City and move straight up and into the country, I don't know what will. But then once you're there, you might realize you're surrounded by people who are lonely or dealing with some type of serious personal turmoil. You may even discover you're constructing walls that serve no purpose whatsoever. But they're pretty so who cares?
No, seriously? This book is worth picking up. Or you can have mine because I am donating most all of my books so that whenever I do finally move to the country, I don't have to move them all. (less)

I am embarrassed to admit to this one, but I got almost half way through this book and stopped reading it. It's not that I didn't like it. It was really truly well written. It just falls into the category of the unfinished.
I'm sure this is a truly outstanding book. Why I didn't finish it is unforgivable. (less)
