Feel so lost. You know the feeling when you want to read that awesome book that you’ve already read and you know is lying somewhere but put it off for so long that you can’t find it anymore? Frustration seems like the right path to follow. I can see the cover in my mind’s eye. But visualizing won’t make it appear. Ahh. Harry Potter: I cant wait for July to see you and your magical wand. Anyway I wanted to reread to to review it here. But it was so good I can recall most of it from memory (I read this about a year ago) All I could come up with was the name, “Man or Mouse” and thats only due to 15 minutes of searching and coming up with Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men”. Copied almost directly from amazon with my input input =] somewhere in.

- Reynard or Ren125733 is having an early-life crisis. He got dumped. He’s an actor. Tv ads i think.

-At night he is a virtual recluse with hours spent hunting female companionship on the World Wide Web. He decides he cant take any more rejection.

-He has a “virtual sex change” and becomes NuBiFem, the girl whose interests are “Online fun, offline frolics”. See? “New Bi Fem” Bi as in bisexual ler.

-Messages come flowing in. From both guys and girls. But this sole screen name, “RoxiNYC” She’s different. They both hit it off. She is also his makeup person in real life whom he has a huge crush on.

-Since they hit it off so great as lesbians, he asks his ex to become NuBiFem to continue the online chatting that fills up his soul with.. soulfood. Bad idea. They hit it off too. His ex now thinks she is bi/a lesbian. I recall them getting it on pretty early in the relationship. Prolly one of the funniest albeit expected part of the book.
And then the story goes on. Hilarious. I’m serious. It’s pretty goddamn funny. Slightly like chick lit for guys altho girls should love it as much. Notwithstanding, if you dont take into account actual book genres, I would say its a cross between teen humour (its basically about sex. so not just teens eh? you dirty adult buggers), lesbian lit, and Adrian Mole. =)
The story includes people who know hes faking it online and are watching him in real life. Weird eh? Thats all. Crazy week ahead.
