A review by daumari
Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
5.0
I think I mentioned this in an earlier update, but this book showed me the anecdotes and research behind some of the storylines in Master of None, which I thought was a wonderful true-to-life take on modern life as a 20-30s year old.
I've read various books by comedians over the last few years, with some better than others. Ansari's was neat in that I learned stuff while reading without getting too dry (am now curious about [b:Going Solo: The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone|11797459|Going Solo The Extraordinary Rise and Surprising Appeal of Living Alone|Eric Klinenberg|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347918144s/11797459.jpg|16750253] by co-author [a:Eric Klinenberg|2611|Eric Klinenberg|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1332895127p2/2611.jpg] because MR seemed entirely in Aziz's voice). Surprisingly well researched compiling literature, focus groups, interviews across age groups and countries to form a snapshot of how we're relationshipping in today's world of tinder & sexting.
I'm not single, but I want to encourage my friends fruitlessly trying okcupid for the 11tybillionth time to read and figure out best practices for using digital tools to meet mr/ms. right.
