What We're Reading: Edward


Manhood for Amateurs: the pleasures and regrets of a husband, father, and son
by Michael Chabon
Chick Lit has been with us for awhile now. Now there seems to be a trend of Man Lit. Manhood for Amateurs is solidly in this group. Although some of the essays have appeared elsewhere, it is nice to get to read them as a group. Chabon's essays cover the whole gamut for manhood. He compare his outdoor childhood to the current play date and gaming childhood. He discusses the changes in American sexual and drug mores. Chabon has the ability to make you both laugh and cry. His best essays are devoted to the love of his children. A must real for every man!
