Status Updates From This Is Where I Leave You

got to read for a bit today :')

got to read for a bit today :')

I always come back to this book.

I think I'm in love with Judd.

i am gonna finish this today, if only to rid myself of this book

This is one of the funniest books I’ve read in a while. I love his crude and sarcastic humor! The part where he shoves the cake up Wades ass is SO fucking hilarious😂😂😂

And it keeps getting better!

Like a male Bridget Jones.

I love the writer’s style! Not often I get to read a book in a males perspective, refreshingly raw.

“‘You’re prettier than Jane Fonda.’ I told Mom.
Of course I am, sugar,’ she said..”
OH MY GOD. JANE FONDA PLAYS THE MOM IN THE MOVIE. HOW META.

so far this book has been nearly impossible to put down!

‘Philip nudges one of the low chairs with his toe. “It was nice of Yoda to lend us his chairs.”’
PHILIP IS PLAYED BY ADAM DRIVER IN THE MOVIE. I LOVE IRONY.

literally all of the supporting characters are more interesting than the narrator

also dammit these sentences are impeccably constructed

What a strange book to read while grieving.

this is the straightest whitest straight white man book i have read in years

i hate that i like the writing style

why do i enjoy garbage

I had to take a break from A Winter’s Tale and check out a new book with a faster pace to get me back into reading regularly. So far so good!

Interestingly entertaining.

I don’t know how this happened but I’m reading too many books at once ahhhh. But I like this and didn’t want to stop reading it.

“There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain, comedy and tragedy, humor and hurt.” — Erma Bombeck
A very thin line. I fear I don't always see it.
“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” - Leo Tolstoy.
I don't know that that makes them at all interesting. We always seem to be reading books about dysfunctional families. This is another one.

This is really great so far. The narrators voice is very compelling and the plot is so far so good. I am a little worried about remembering all the character's names and keeping them straight because there are quite a few. I am also a little worried about the plot potentially getting bogged down in minutia but I will see what happens!

there's really no context in which i want to read the words "twin teenage sex-kitten daughters". ever

this book. is. the. worst.

Dạo này khoái đọc sách chửi thề =))

Sooooooo good!!! Glad I grabbed this one at the library.

I couldn’t finish it.

I don't want to finish this book. Sounds too much like a stereotypical Hollywood comedy and characters are all predictable stereotypes. Ah, oh well. On to the next book

Good

Really enjoying this one so far. Very funny.
