Status Updates From This Is Where I Leave You

Seriously loving this!

Very easy to read so far :)

LOL.

Wow chapter 24 is super misogynistic. Suddenly Tropper went from charming horny guy to disrespectful creep.

The dad just died of stomach cancer and his wish was for the family to sit shiva. Spend a week 7 days together

I'm unaccustomed to laughing in public, but with this book, I have no choice.

Not my thing..!

Not my thing...!

Really funny

Loving it so far. The movie is amazing, so I'm hoping the book will match.

Good

Funny!

Never have I come across a sentence such as "he squirted tiny ribbons of baked ejaculate into the air" this book is a lot crazier than I expected, BUT I LIKE IT!

Usually I slowly drift into the characters of a book, taking a while to get comfortable with the context. I immediately fell in love with the modern satirical irony of this book. I really can't put it down.

My new favorite author!

Just getting started....interesting because I'm not used to a male narrator!

Funny so far.

'We all start out so damn sure, thinking we've got the world on a string. If we ever stopped to think about the infinite number of ways we could be undone, we'd never leave our bedrooms.'

"I may not be old but I'm too old to have this much nothing"

Not a good start! I hope it gets better or else I may not complete it

Only at page 23 and I'm laughing my ass off. I hope it keeps going on like this!

I don't want this to end.

" Phillip is the Paul McCartney of our family: better-looking than the rest of us, always facing a different direction in pictures, and occasionally rumored to be dead."

“Just act casual,” Paul says. “Blend in.” It seems easy enough, only because we’re too stoned to realize that three men dripping in their suits might stand out.

'You can sit up here, feeling above it all while knowing you're not, coming to the lonely conclusion that the only thing you can ever really know about anyone is that you don't know anything about them at all.'

'My marriage ended the way these things do: with paramedics and cheesecake.'

I love this so much already.

'Her ironic inflection fills me with the familiar impulse to simultaneously kiss her deeply and strangle her until she turns blue.'

loving this book! reminds me slightly of High Fidelity.
