I have the book and I've opended it. Haven't started reading though. I've been busy trying to put my daughters graduation party together. I have all day Sunday to read and that's what I plan on doing.....unless the wife finds something for me to do.
I was cracking up out loud on the train yesterday. This book is funny. The main character is funny - he has a dry sense of humor. I am really getting into the book. I already don't like most of the women characters - except for Lily. I guess men authors are good at doing that - I'm just pointing it out. But a few of the guys are really wusses too. So we'll see how it progresses.
Now Dylan, you know that having a dog comes with responsibilities. You have to earn a dog. I will not just buy you one. I think Mz gave in way to easily.

Well Confuzzed, if you were ever home, you would have to deal with him carrying that darn leash and collar around all day and his whining about a dog all the time, that you'd give in too.
I read like 3 chapters last weekend when i was dorked out on painkillers. then last night i started at the beginning again and it's a good thing because i really don't remember much of what i already read. I'm going to read all this guys books... I can't wait for the goose part! i love gooses, just knowing there is a "goose part" is funny!
It's an entertaining read so far... I like all the tales he spins getting you up to speed on characters. It's amazing how much my dad is like the main character, and he freely admits it. So I absolutely had to remark on the comment the main character makes regarding having to bite your tounge while your children make serious judgement errors... I love how he strips all the conversations down to what they really mean in his head, and then reply appropriately. I'm on chapter 10, I think the only time I laughed out loud so far had to do with him embarassing his friend who lusts after his wife, right in front of her.... and again at the bar - in front of they guy's OWN wife. He definitely calls a spade a goose, er spade.
Oh, and I have to add... I had the book at a wedding rehearsal this past Friday. One of my friends saw it and said "Wow! That looks like a fascinating book!" Until I clarified for her that it's not about gay and straight men, then she was less than interested.
I totally get the title - it only took me till about ch. 4! I was laughing at the part where he was a typist during the war. I just got to the part where the goose comes in. All ready for the quiz, Dylan.
