I recently came across an interesting memoir that, in many ways, is in the same vein as "I Am Not Myself These Days A Memoir (P.S.)" by Josh Kilmer-Purcell.

However, this particular memoir, while still captivating in its own right, doesn't quite have the same level of fun and lightheartedness as the former.

The author delves into their personal experiences with a certain degree of honesty and vulnerability, which is commendable. But perhaps due to the nature of the subject matter or the writing style, it lacks that certain je ne sais quoi that makes a memoir truly enjoyable to read from start to finish.

Nonetheless, it does offer some valuable insights and perspectives that are worth considering. It makes you think about the different aspects of life and how we navigate through various challenges and changes.

Overall, while it may not be the most entertaining memoir out there, it still has its merits and can be a worthwhile read for those who are interested in this type of literature.

This book is truly very entertaining. It has captured my attention from the very beginning and has not let go.

The stories and characters within its pages are so vivid and engaging that I find myself completely immersed in the world it creates.

I often find myself laughing out loud at the humorous moments and on the edge of my seat during the exciting parts.

It's the kind of book that makes you forget about everything else going on in your life and just enjoy the moment.

However, when I think about the person who wrote this book and the job they must have had, I don't think I could ever have it.

The creativity, imagination, and hard work that must have gone into writing such a great book is truly remarkable.

I have a newfound respect for authors and the work they do.

This book has not only entertained me but has also made me appreciate the art of writing even more.

While I was eagerly waiting for the books I had ordered online to arrive in the mail, I thought it would be a good idea to stop at the store and grab a "quick read" to fill the time until my precious parcels arrived. That's when I spotted "Working Stiff" by Grant Stoddard. The cover looked quite hilarious, and I had a hunch that a funny read was exactly what I needed at that moment.


Grant Stoddard, a college-aged British guy, found himself in NYC. After some couch surfing and girlfriend hunting, he somehow ended up writing about sex for Nerve.com. His job was to engage in a wide variety of unique sexual activities and atmospheres and then report his experiences. This included everything from public subway sex to throwing all kinds of food items at a gay man with a unibrow.


I had rather mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, his sexual exploits were indeed hilarious and were written in a very engaging way. However, on the other hand, his daily grind seemed quite dull. I felt that the parts of the book in between the sex-related content were just pure filler. It was like a bunch of garbage that I was really tempted to just skim through. So, while his adventures were definitely fun and compelling reads, the rest of the book was rather mind-numbing.

Not going to lie,

this book was nothing like what I expected. I don't even remember how I came across it at the bookstore and definitely not why I decided to buy and read it. That said, it was interesting - funny, disturbing, and simultaneously informative.

It was a very shocking and rare perspective to write from, especially in a society that shuns anything remotely sexual. The author's boldness in exploring such themes was both captivating and discomforting.

I didn't love the book as it made me increasingly uncomfortable, but that is also why I loved it. It pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone and made me think about things I had never considered before.

It's really hard to describe how this book makes me feel as these were entirely un-relatable situations. However, I have to admit that it was an engaging read that held my attention from start to finish.

Overall, it was fun while it lasted but made no lasting impression. It was an entertaining diversion, but not a book that I would recommend to everyone.

I was in desperate need of a book that could captivate my attention throughout a long day spent in airports and on airplanes. In that regard, the book managed to achieve its purpose.

However, on several occasions, I found myself thinking that this sex columnist didn't seem to have gleaned many writing skills during his escapades. Stoddard is indeed amusing and infuses a certain level of sincerity into his sex adventures.

Nevertheless, the book seems to lose its way when he veers away from describing those adventures and delves into other topics such as emotions, citizenship, and his post-Nerve.com plans.

But I still stand by my initial assessment: if you're looking to stay engaged on a flight from Miami to Boston, you'll be well served by picking up a copy. Just be mindful that your seat mate might cease communicating with you once they catch a glimpse of what you're reading over your shoulder.

The back cover of this book boldly proclaims that it will make you blush, and let me tell you, it most definitely will.

This guy seems to have an uncanny ability to find himself in the most awkward and yet interesting new positions, and yes, many of them are of a sexual nature.

However, when it comes to the non-sexual part of the book that delves more into his life and the timeline, it can be a bit of a challenge to follow.

The narrative in these sections seems to jump around a bit, making it difficult to fully grasp the sequence of events and how they all fit together.

Nonetheless, the sexual content is so vivid and engaging that it almost makes up for the slight confusion in the other parts.

Overall, this book is a wild ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat, or perhaps blushing furiously.

The title had almost promised me a bit more.

The beginning is really something that requires some getting used to and is not extremely exciting - but it draws you in and generally speaking: it's worth reading!

I was initially a bit disappointed by the title, as I had expected more. However, as I delved into the text, I found that although the beginning was a bit slow and not overly thrilling, it gradually became more engaging. Overall, I would say that it is a worthwhile read. The story has its own charm and manages to hold the reader's attention. It may not be the most action-packed or mind-blowing piece of literature, but it has its merits and is definitely worth taking the time to read.

Just shouting out grant,

Grant is a name that holds significance for many. It could be a person who has made a significant impact on someone's life. Maybe it's a friend, a family member, or a mentor. When we shout out grant, we are expressing our appreciation and recognition for that individual.

Grant might be known for his kindness, his intelligence, or his creativity. He could have helped us through a difficult time, or inspired us to achieve our goals. By shouting out grant, we are letting him know that his actions and qualities have not gone unnoticed.

Sometimes, a simple shout out can mean a lot. It can make someone's day and give them the boost they need to keep going. So, the next time you think of grant, don't be afraid to shout it out loud and let him know how much he means to you.

A 22-year-old English virgin named Grant found himself completely at a loss in America. He had no idea what to do with his life. However, everything changed when he won an online adult contest. The prize for this contest was an opportunity to have sex with a celebrity sex columnist!

Now, I have no clue why I picked up this particular book in the library. Maybe it wasn't even me? Could it have just fallen into my basket by some strange coincidence? Anyways, as a result of winning the contest, Grant becomes a sex reporter. And he is willing to try out absolutely anything, and I really mean anything!

Perhaps it wasn't the main point, but a more in-depth and reflective look at his experiences would have made this a much better read. Oh, and by the way, this is a memoir!!

Overall, I would rate this book 5 out of 12, giving it two stars. It was published by Virgin.

Hatte Goddard überhaupt einen Redakteur?


This is a question that keeps popping up when one reads this book. It seems as if there was a lack of proper editorial oversight.


The book has great potential, but it falls short in many aspects. There are numerous errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. The flow of the narrative is often disrupted, making it difficult for the reader to fully engage with the story.


Moreover, the organization of the content could be improved. Some sections seem disjointed and lack a clear connection to the overall theme.


If only there had been a more meticulous editor, this book could have been so much better. It could have been a masterpiece instead of a work that leaves the reader with a sense of disappointment.


Hopefully, in future editions, the necessary revisions will be made to enhance the quality of this book and do justice to the author's ideas.

This book was absolutely hilarious.

From the very first page, it had me laughing out loud. The author's sense of humor is truly remarkable. The characters are vividly described and their antics are simply absurd.

The story is filled with witty dialogue and unexpected twists that keep you engaged from start to finish. It's the kind of book that you can't put down once you start reading.

Whether you're looking for a lighthearted read to brighten your day or a book to share with friends, this one is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good laugh.

I can't wait to see what the author comes up with next. This book has set a high standard for humor in literature.
