Second Batch of Dewey Entries

I read three books in the last few days.  The Friendship Crisis talked about making friends when you're an adult. It felt like I was reading a book about how to meet a man: join clubs you're interested in, how to make first contact, blah blah blah.  It does talk about how friends are different than husbands, but I kind of disagree.  I talk to my husband about everything I would talk about with a friend.  Hence, I don't really have much to talk to a friend about that's different than what I talk to my husband about.  Except talking about my husband.  I cringe when he eats ice cream because his jaw makes this weird noise.  That's my big husband complaint.

Next up is Falling into Manholes.  Whenever I can during this Dewey project, I'm going to pick the humorous memoirs.  I love self-deprecating humor.  This book is supposed to be a humorous, self-deprecating memoir, but it comes across really tedious and not very funny.  It's more like you want to say, "I'm so glad I'm not the author because she is whacked."  

Last one was Don't Get Too Comfortable.   It was a journalist writing essays that basically poke fun at how Americans are really spoiled.  I think the same can be established if you read US Weekly, but he was a very good writer. 

After I logged the books below, I realized that I read two books that started with "30."  Oh well.  Guess I'm reading 101 books now!
