Title: Not So Funny
Review: The back cover of the book boasts: "Knee-slapping hilarious." Eh. Not so much. I generally enjoy how some good writers can make even the mundane funny (David Sedaris comes to mind). But just because you think you're funny doesn't mean you should write. To be fair, there are some enjoyable essays here (particularly "The Good Swimmer Or How I Lost Him"), but the bulk are just collections of stuff that would be more suitable on a mildly funny blog, not in a book.
