I'm So Borrrrrrrred!

Okay--I'm in a better mood today. Drinking three glasses of wine and dancing around your room to the remix version of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" while your cats stare at you like you're insane is a good cure for depression.

I'm one of the only people in the office today, and I'm so bored, so I figured it was time to add to Holly's suggested list of books for a "single man" category on Amazon.com:

1) MANners: A Book of Etiquette for Single Men [LARGE PRINT EDITION] by Alyce Derian
Simple guidelines ranging from grooming, to where to meet women, to "under the covers" etiquette [as in FOREPLAY--take a hint, K!].

2) Mothers, Sons, and Lovers: How a Man's Relationship with His Mother Affects the Rest of His Life by Michael Gurian
Discusses the troubled relationships that result when men do not adequately separate from their mothers and fail to move into "manhood" [Ohhhh--is THAT the problem with all my past boyfriends?].

3) Other Men's Wives by Freddie Lee Johnson
Man receives "mysterious DVD" that shows his wife having sex with an unidentifiable man and suspects that it is one of his two best friends [Okay guys, see how that would make YOU feel!].

4) The Wimp Factor: Gender Gaps, Holy Wars, and the Politics of Anxious Masculinity by Stephen J. Ducat
An exploration of how male anxiety has come to define our political culture [Two prime examples--our very own federal government and the Catholic Church]

5) Housebroken: Confessions of a Stay at Home Dad by Davie Eddie
The guide to fatherhood in the post-feminist age [a.k.a. "now it's your turn!"]

Any other suggestions out there?
