Oh yeah sorry well, maybe I should just post the synopsis. It doesn't get the book justice, though...

The adventures of angst-ridden teen protagonist Nick Twisp--who starts out an honor student and ends up a fugitive--are chronicled in this uproariously funny epic. Here are the journals of this most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformationfrom unassuming 14-year-old to modern youth in open revolt.

Yeah, It kind of reminds me of a Superbad type of humor.

Which is sometimes needed!

I haven't read the book and I have a large list of books to read before I die/go blind, so I don't know when I'll get to but eventually!

Yeah, well, a movie is announced for 2009-ish, with Michael Cera. And William is right, don't wait, you can't make 499 pages of brilliance into a perfect movie.

And to William, yes, Billy is reading it, then you may.
