Loosly based...

Have you ever thought the pieces of your life would make a good book? Maybe you thought your life is actually based on a work of fiction. I'm not talking Salinger or Hemingway or even Nick Hornby.

My life as a book -- Kyle Smith's Love Monkey... better yet, just watch CBS television show loosely based on it.

The main character in the book could be me... circa 2001 (when the book takes place) except I don't live in New York. He even works at a newspaper for god sakes. There's a line in that book that describes my life for the past 6 years.

"When I was younger I thought about what my life would be when I reached this age. Job I loved, wife, family, riches beyond end... well 1 out of 4 isn't too bad."

I think I may need therapy. But read the book. It's that good.
