Actually I did read his book and thought it was good, but I read 2 books by Rick O'Reiley and I am reading a book about Bear Bryant, all of which are better than Greenie's book.
So, it looks like we do need a book section...

Anyone ever read Mike's book? I love his chapter on putting up posters of great female athletes not pop princesses or starlets in his daughter's room because of the anorexia thing. |

I read it. It was okay. My wife liked it more than me, if that tells you anything. |

Read the first few chapters of it. Hard to get into... maybe it gets better further into it? |

It entertained me from tiime to time. I really didn't get why I was reading it. It was ok. Maybe 6 out of 10. It had its moments, but for the most part it's kind of forgettable. |

Best line of the book was when he compared arguments with his wife to a chess match between Gary Kasparov (or was it Bobby fischer) & Jessica Simpson

Did your wife read it? What did she think? j/k 
I gave it to my dad and husband for Father's Day when it came out (my husband got additional gifts). My husband still hasn't read it. My mom & dad were put off by his drinking and superficialness. 
I read it and loved it. I loved that it was parts of his journal, and that he journaled because his psychologist suggested he do it. I also have depression and anxiety and have extensively journaled over the years, and I totally identify with his insecurities. But, as most of you know, I'm a girl. 
I feel no shame being in the Greenie ALS.

I can't take more than a few minutes of this crapfest before I get ill so reading his book would be out of the question... If you want to read something good try "The Wishbones" by Tom Perrotta. I picked it up for a flight to Seattle...major thumbs up! |

I read the book. I was a little uninspired. The self-putdowns got a little tiring after a while. I'm sure he's not as completely wimpy as the picture he paints. |

I've read it. At work. Not a "ignore the wife and kids" type of read, but more of a "sit in the shitter at work for an extra 15 minutes" read. I was floored that he used several cuss words in the text. I thought for sure Mickey Mouse was behind me with a bar of soap. |

Son of a bitch I was about to start a thread called "Anybody Read Greenbergs Book?" but then I saw this. Instant gratification. |

Anyone see ParkRidgeSteph lately? I mean, I know we gave her shit a lot back in the days, but seeing the other poster in this thread, I guess it makes me feel bad that we gave her so much shit. |
