Movies vs. Books vs. Boobs

I've previously written about how reading books can help tech nerds across the valley score some bonus points with gals. Don't think you can cheat the system by watching the movie. It didn't work in high school and it's not going to work today. I recently watched the movie, 'Love in the Time of Cholera' and it was horrendous. Actors should never play old people - it's bush league! The producers should have just hired different actors to play the roles of the characters at different stages of their lives.

Not only that, but the actors were pitiful. I highly doubt they read the book. I apologize to Gabriel Garcia Marquez for Hollywood's atrocious rendering of his classic and beautifully written novel.

Sincerely,

P.S. On another note, there were some boobs in the movie - so I HIGHLY recommend! (Just kidding)

Books Women Love

OK guys, put the 'CSS-html-java-open-source-firefox-and-Me' book down please! I just got back from my stint away from the valley and learned that (surprise, surprise) women don't like that kind of stuff - not that I would ever have a coding book on me, much less understand it. Let me explain how what you read can really, REALLY help spark a conversation with a lady and not another member of the Klingon nation.

Before my trip to Thailand, I decided to pick up a book at the airport to help me cope with my ensuing 15 hour flight. What I settled in on was a book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez titled, 'Love in the Time of Cholera' - and what a decision it turned out to be. (Although I had to debate long and hard between picking up the Nobel Prize winning book or a copy of US Weekly and reading about K-Fed's bulging belly line.)

Even though I was a little concerned that there were no pictures in the book, I was soon to find out that 'Love in the Time of Cholera' was a bonafide (pardon the un-PC) chick-magnet! That was not my intention when I first bought the book; I just wanted to see what kind of book wins a Nobel Prize and I also remembered that a girl I briefly talked to loved Marquez. Trust me: when all else fails - listen to the woman.

Girls were always commenting on the book I was holding, and it even helped reverse the tide with a German gal in Bangkok who was probably surprised I even knew how to read. So fellas, please put down your Warren Buffet, Donald Trump get-rich-book and at least read a book or two that women love. Start with 'Love in the Time of Cholera,' not just because women love it, but because it's well-written and has some of the most elegantly poetic prose I've read in awhile. It will definitely help with those unpoetic code-like IMs and emails you probably write when courting your online chat-room gals. StarfoxXX69 will love it! (You will too, until you find out she's a he!)

Good Luck,
