Loading... Things I've Learned From Women Who've Dumped Me (2008)by Ben Karlin (Editor)
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. There were a couple of okay essays, but on the whole they were very bland. ( ![]() Didn't read all of this , but, holy shit what a bunch of morons Oy ve! Where did they get this many whack-jobs? So, I want to tell you, these are Not the type of men I'd be with! They are in no way, shape or form even qualified as mensch. More like, schlemiel...clueless. What's more is all of these guys are now the pride & joy of their mammalas! All are now very successful comedians! But did I find them funny, well not at all...... I'm thinking, that this book written by men is for men...because I honestly didn't get what they were talking about..... Do I blame the women who dumped them? Nope not at all, several of the guys were overly neurotic. And when I looked them all up in Google Images: Oy, I gotta tell you they all have that meshugga look about them, that wild eyed crazy man look like Jim Carey..... TBC..... Very funny audiobook - listening to this brought me many a chuckle. I recommend it as an audiobook even more than as a book. Dan Savage's story was hilarious. There were some extremely witty pieces in here (John Oliver reading Nick Hornby's intro was a hilarious start.) There were also some really not very funny pieces. Sam Lipsyte's piece was great, I enjoyed Patton Oswalt's ruminations on dating a stripper and Will Forte had a fun tale to tell. But there were some really bad essays as well. Dan Savage talking about how disgusting he found a vagina (I get it, he had to make sure he couldn't play straight, but there was nothing funny and a lot that was sort of hateful in that essay.) Steven Colbert and Bob Odenkirk, (both of whom I love) entered stories which really kinda sucked, and Larry Wilmore's was sweet but not funny. So, this was uneven, but with some moments of brilliance. On audio (each essay read by the author) it makes a largely enjoyable, sometimes stellar, listen to and from the office. no reviews | add a review
