The Great Book Project 4 of 20 – The Average American Male by Chad Kultgen

Monday, June 14th, 2010

Holy Smokes its been a tough couple of weeks! I got the keys to my house last week and have started the mammoth task of getting everything ready for when we move. This last week we have had a painter in who practically painted the whole house. Had the Sky man in today fitting the tv, phone and broadband and tomorrow and Wednesday got a guy coming to fit the laminate flooring and vinyl for the kitchen.

We’ll hopefully be set to start moving all our stuff in over the weekend as one of my buddies has sorted me out with a van! Can’t wait for it. We will probably be living out of boxes for the first month as we’ve just got so much on financially with our approaching wedding/honeymoon.

Because of all this madness going on I’ve not had a chance to read as much. Been reading on the train mostly, to and from work.

The Average Scottish Male

This book is the first on the list that was suggested to me in the comments on my first post about this project. It was Jen who recommended it. I have to say right now: Thank you Jen. I’ve not laughed so much in a long time. This book was hilarious.

To give you an idea of the book; it follows the thoughts of an unnamed twenty-something male from LA who has a high sex drive. The content of the book is absolutely absurd. When I first started reading it I was finding it really shocking. To the point where I was unsure if it was entertaining or not, but the more I turned the pages the more I wanted to laugh at the outrageousness.

The title ‘The Average American Male’ gives you the idea that this is an attempt to document just how we blokes think. In a way it does, but exaggerated times a hundred. That’s why its so funny.

Here is a video of Tom Green reading the first paragraph of the book:

Not much really happens in the book. It’s a basic little story about a guy dealing with the ladies, but I really enjoyed it.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to everyone due to the explicit content, but if you think you can deal with it and are up for a laugh, read it now!
