Summer Reading

Being in NYC has given me the chance to catch up on some things that were beneficial to me in high school that I haven't had nearly enough time to do since I've become so busy in college. First, Warner and I have started to jog a mile to a mile and a half everyday (gotta fit in those 33 slims). Also, I have begun to read more. My first book that I'll be reading this Summer was recommended to me by my good friend Matt Akin (Box Logo). It is a novel by Chad Kultgen entitled The Average American Male. Weekly journalism magazine Publisher's Weekly reviewed the book saying:

"The nameless narrator of this dismal debut is a cynical 20-something living an empty, oversexed existence in L.A. He gets laid more often than he masturbates, plays video games, goes to the gym, sizes up every bitch in sight and, understandably, hates Casey, his vapid wannabe-actress girlfriend who tricks him into agreeing to marry her. He is not happy about this. Adding to his reluctance is his burgeoning "relationship" with hottie Alyna, a UCLA student who-just as Casey is an exaggerated caricature of What Men Don't Want-is the Dream Girl who likes video games and porn-style sex. (Also, Casey has a "fat ass" whereas Alyna has a "perfect ass.") [...] Despite the book's purported "brutal honesty," the premise is essentially: guys like sex and dislike cuddling."

Sounds like a good read.
