Just because a book has a geeky, smiling child on the cover does NOT mean it will be as funny like Kick Me by Paul Feig. Case in point: Manhood for Amateurs by Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Chabon, which read on my last vacation. I left it tucked between two seats at LAX hoping a stranger would find it and think it was "hilarious, moving, and pleasurable" (San Francisco Chronicle) because I surely did not.
