"So, I'm not just imagining it?" "He said this more as a statement than a question and I agreed."

"You haven't told anyone anything we said the other day, have you?" "That how guys are."
Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent
"What are most guys looking for in a woman?" When it was still July (i.e., yesterday), I started Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent. It's an "immersion journalism" account of a woman who lived disguised as a man for one year. "Just remember that the difference between your people and my people is that my people bowl without irony."
Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent
"Yeah, well how do think I feel?" "My eyes widened at the prospect."
Self-Made Man: One Woman's Journey into Manhood and Back by Norah Vincent
"Did women really pretend to be men in real life?" I had fun with Self Made Man by Norah Vincent, about a cisgendered woman's year-long experiment into living as a man (or at least posing as one most of the time), although I didn't always agree with it.

Excellent book. I liked the way that Vincent confronted her pre-conceived notions with an open mind and was really willing to learn. It was a very difficult process for her, obviously, which was interesting to read.
17. I Capture the Castle by ... Three of my favorites are Self Made Man, The year of Living Biblically, and Going Gray. I've given them a short review on this site, and they are reviewed in greater depth on Amazon. All three are available on Amazon for the Kindle, as well as dead tree format. >6 & 7

Personally, my favourite chapter was the chapter where "Ned" joined the bowling team and learned how adult males interacted with each other as well as with kids (there was a boy that often came to the bowling alley ... I have been eyeing the Self-Made Man as well. It really does look interesting, but my tbr list is so long already, I haven't picked it up yet. 2. Self-Made Man: One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man ... Came To Town
Nella Last - Nella Last's War
Christina Lamb - The Sewing Circles of Herat

To answer my own question, above, I read 133 fiction and 95 non-fiction in 2007, almost the same balance as in 2006, even though I thought I tried to read ... I am reading Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent for my book club. It is a true story of a woman who disguised herself as a man and spent a year as "Ned" while writing about her experiences. I have finished a chapter on her being in a male only bowling league and a chapter on going to strip clubs as ... ... on Sunday featured a wonderful Gay Pride sermon by a member of ours, Meredith Guest. She talked about a book entitled Self Made Man by Norah Vincent, which sounded very good.
If you'd like to read Meredith's sermon, it's online at http://www.uupetaluma.org/sermons/sermongaypride.htm ... ... I wouldn't have given it a chance had I not had it already & had nothing else to read. Pretty much a waste of time.
3. Self-Made Man by Norah Vincent: I love memoirs & I also love social-experiment-type books. I originally heard about this on "Dateline" or "Primetime" or one of those ...
