Not really my kind of book. not sure what i was thinking when i bought it.

sneaky.

“Ah love.
L
O
V
E
love.
L is for life. I mean what is life without love?
O for OH WOW!
V is for this very surprising turn of events which i am still fine with by the way.
E is for how extreeemeely normal I find it that you two are together and that one day you might get married… and have children of your own…”

I believe Ross (from Friends) best describes this book.

Well this book has made me decide. My body should definitely be donated to science. after i die of course.

Ok, also. On the topic of training doctors:
“Nowadays, enlightened medical schools will hire a ‘pelvic educator,’ a sort of professional vagina who allows the students to practice on her and offers personalized feedback…”
Seriously. who wants that job!?

So one day I realized I hate to cook. and honestly. i never cook. So I researched eating only raw food. And I came across this 80/10/10 thing. Which is eat almost all fruit all the time nearly as much as you want. and who doesnt love fruit!?

Well anyway. The book is interesting. Probably mostly lies like most diet books. And seriously I dont know how people live like this. I did it for like 3 days. and then i couldnt handle it. I had to face the facts. I am not a raw vegan. Oh well. a fun adventure in the life of Amy.

I mean this book could have been better if it was not so depressing in the end. I really like happy endings. but I guess there is something to be said for the not so obvious ending.

This book was sad. Which was expected. And it was sort of boring since I had already heard the lecture. But still interesting to think about. He had alot of childhood dreams. I dont feel like I cared that much when I was a kid. I must have been a slacker even back in the day.

“The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.”

I almost feel bad giving this book a 3. It should get something more like a -3. But as insulting and upsetting the book was at times other times it was just plain funny, I don’t care who you are. it was funny. but, mostly it was terrible. There is really nothing else to say. TuckerMax.com.

I would have rated this book higher, but they killed Arkady. they should not have done that.

“The individual is, in his future and his past, a piece of fate, one law more, one necessity more for everything that is and everything that will be. To say to him ‘change yourself’ means to demand that everything should change, even in the past…”

I listened to this on my road trip with Julian. because he made me. sadly, I actually enjoyed it. In the future i will read more of the books. I like Bean. so i will read his story. bean bean bean!

This book was not supposed to as enjoyable as it was. I usually dont find this sort of humor humorous… I must be slipping? Although apparently there are 5 books in this trilogy, which i sort of find irritating when i guess this too is supposed to be humorous.

“…a liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.”

“Life, loathe it or ignore it, you can’t like it.”

“Molest me not with this pocket calculator stuff.”

“As for me my only hope is for eternal nothingness and I hope it with all my heart.”

“It was called evolutionary biology. Under its sway, the sexes were separated again, men into hunters and women into gatherers. Nurture no longer formed us; nature did. Impulses of hominids dating from 20,000BC were still controlling us. And so today on television and in magazines you get the current simplifications. Why can’t men communicate? (Because they had to be quiet on the hunt.) Why do women communicate so well? (Because they had to call out to one another where the fruits and berries were.) Why can men never find things around the house? (Because they have a narrow field of vision, useful in tracking prey.) Why can women find things so easily? (Because in protecting the nest they were used to scanning a wide field.) Why can’t women parallel park? (Because low testosterone inhibits spatial ability.) Why won’t men ask for directions? (Because asking for directions is a sign of weakness, and hunters never show weakness.) This is where we are today. Men and women, tired of being the same, want to be different again.”

“I was thinking how amazing it was that the world contained so many lives. Out in these streets people were embroiled in a thousand matters, money problems, love problems, school problems. People were falling in love, getting married, going to drug rehab, learning how to ice skate, getting bifocals, studying for exams, trying on clothes, getting their hair cut, and getting born. And in some houses people were getting old and sick and were dying, leaving other to grieve. It was happening all the time, unnoticed, and it was the thing that really mattered.”

Perhaps I will change my style, and give my favorite line of the book:

“Old loves are hard to get out of your system.”

(I made sure to include the full title because Patrick is always telling me how he loves a good long title, ha)

Abortion is bad.

Missing my mom.
