Great book for tips and conversation. Get this for anyone you know.

This was a gift for my brother-in-law, who already has plenty of man skills, and he loves it. It is great for starting discussions on many subjects, and it holds a place of high rank in the bathroom, which I understand is a great compliment. The book is actually full of very interesting and useful information, though some of the "worst cases" are nothing any of us would likely experience. Still, it is wonderful for initiating debate on any number of subjects. I would suggest using it as a party game, having people take in turn reading a survival tip and then having discussion to follow. Great fodder for brain exercise. And don't let the title fool you. There are plenty of us women with "man" skills, and it is a good gift for anyone. Highly recommended.

#2 sessions approved

packed with mostly funny slightly useful information.

Great for the old 1 hour #2 session. Not as good as "why are dogs noses wet"

Cons - thick and square design makes reading slightly annoying. Kind of like my bullet point paragraphs :)

The other day, I was reading this on the toilet when my legs fell asleep (apparently I was in there for two hours). Thanks to having this book on hand, I managed to survive three days in the loo while lying on the floor. Tons of practical knowledge.

Haiku Review

I have chosen Haiku as a medium because it distills the essential truth about a text:

Survival

When I die, It won’t
Be because I didn’t read
this book. It’s cancer.
