A manly read that will have your sides splitting. Any guy can relate to Phil Torcivia's take on life, and any girl knows a guy that can relate to Phil Torcivia's take on life.
Such a nice guy is described on Amazon.com as "Strip an East Coast man in his forties of his marital obligations, transplant him into San Diego, and something funny happens. Enjoy 84 humorous anecdotes about relationships, love, sex, and lifestyles."
My take:
I am going to start by saying how much I love the format of this book. It's not quite short stories or essays, its more like what you would expect from a blog entry. To me this book is like a years worth of blogging neatly packaged up with some awesome artwork into a convenient package.
This guy could be a stand-up comedian I would imagine. He has an interesting way of viewing life, and manages to find the humor in most every situation. I particularly love how he can write in a way that anyone can identify with. Either you have been there, or know someone who has been there which makes the stories that much more hilarious. The author doesn't take things to seriously and the reader will love him for that!
One of my favorite stories "Hair", is about the strange places we find hair, and how evolution should have taken care of this issue by now. Another favorite starts with the words "You might be a hot mess if..." and is fantastic! "Grumpy Old Men" is hilarious because, lets face it, we all know one!
All in all this book is great. I highly recommend.

Thanks for sharing this one! I've never heard of it, but it sounds like my kind of book.
