Do Germans read Men's Health while sitting on the can?

And Drs. C and Y have given me a great idea for a list.

Books Not To Mention If Your Intention Is To Pick Up Chicks:
  • Silas Marner
  • Pamela
  • The Awakening

Feel free to add or dispute, dear common taters.

  • Any Slash Fan Fiction (not really a book but still...).

    Anything by Dan Brown (not that I've read anything by him, but *someone* dumped one of his books on me)

    Lord of the Rings (Yes, Dr Y will point out that I like this book, but it is not something I would admit at a bar...)

    Anything with the words "African Veldt"

    more as I see fit.

  • Nah, he's German. He gets his nickname from, you know, "Dutchman, Dutchman uber alles."

    Anything with the words "African Veldt" TURNS ME ON!

  • Yes, my ex was fond of the African Veldt. The name of the book was "The Couple's Comfort Book".

  • Ahh, that is really funny. Yeah, if I brought home anything with the words 'african veldt', i would never hear the end of it.

  • Jean-Luc, you are demonstrating a lamentable obsession with GAY. Surely a straight man can exist outside the narrow bounds of traditional masculinity and not be mocked as GAY. Once can mock someone's taste in literature, or for being taken in by dippy self-help books, but I for one will not call someone gay unless I am referring to their demonstrated same-sex attraction, not a character flaw.

  • But Dr. Y, it's such a beautiful non-insult. No liberal-minded person can act offended, but few hetero men can bear let the comment pass...And let it be know that J.L. Petard is whole-heartedly pro same-sex lovin' gay. Especially when they're hot cowboys.
