Watch that first step...it's a doosey

I have taken the first step to achieving my dream of normalcy; I read a book. Not just any book, but an incredibly stupid (although funny) book. A book that was written for high school students. I swear, I dropped at least 10 IQ points! *groans* Now I'll never find a job!



I started this journey a few months ago, and just completed it this weekend. To it's credit, this book was a great bathroom book. Very short chapters, and easy to pick up and put down. I once tried reading Steven King in the bathroom. That didn't work well...my butt still hasn't forgiven me. Good thing that I was living at home, or my roommates might have lynched me.



What did I like about this book?

1. Gems such as "You're the one with almost an MBA...You should know what to do." Lash's reply, "They don't cover what to do with a dead hooker...That's a whole different program. Political Science, I think." and "He rocks my stripy socks." (Although I think I remember hearing that somewhere before...Oh well.) Oh...we can't forget the quote on the side bar!


2. The supporting actress...Abby Normal.


3. It is very witty. Maybe not Archie Goodwin witty, but witty none the less.


4. I don't know how it kept my attention. Frequently I would stop and think, "This book is stupid. Why am I reading it?" Then I would read a few more lines...and all would become clear.


5. The Star Trek like un-ending. Moore manages to tie everything up, and yet you are still wondering how it all ends.


6. The first paragraph, I"ll quote: "You b*tch, you killed me! You suck!"


7. It made me laugh. Not just once or twice...but many times.


8. One word...vamplets.


9. And finally...any book that shaves a 35 lbs cat, and then puts it in a sweater, is a must read!

Now, if I've done my job correctly, you all will run out and read this book. Then, among my friends, I won't have lost any IQ points...but I will still be able to blend better with the general population. One step down, if AA is to be believed, 11 to go. Any suggestions on what the next step should be?
