Author of ‘Ruminations on College Life’ describes new book as a tribute to being single when all your friends are couples
NEW YORK, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ — It Books, the pop culture imprint of HarperCollins, today announced the publication of Aaron Karo’s latest book, “I’m Having More Fun Than You ” Asking, “Why settle down when you can hook up?” the book is an outrageous account of one man’s quest to party like a rock star and silence his critics in relationships with the rebuke “I’m having more fun than you.” Irreverent, insightful, and relentlessly funny, Karo offers a unique glimpse into the world of guys who defy convention, morality, and their moms in order to preserve their independence.
“I’m Having More Fun Than You” is a collection of anecdotes and observations about single life and dating that Karo documented as he neared his thirtieth birthday. As that milestone approached, Karo noticed that the women around him wanted to get married more, while he actually wanted to get married less. Each of the seven chapters addresses a different aspect of bachelorhood – from the nuances of flirting with girls via Facebook, to attending weddings where the singles table is full of couples.
Karo’s first two books, “Ruminations on College Life” and “Ruminations on Twentysomething Life,” were published by Simon & Schuster in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Just as the first focused on dorm life and the second tackled the transition from college to the real world, “I’m Having More Fun Than You” addresses the next seminal experience in the lives of many young adults: turning thirty and realizing that everyone is married except for you.
Karo is also a nationally headlining comedian whose latest stand-up album, “Just Go Talk To Her ,” was released by Comedy Central Records in December 2008. The publication of “I’m Having More Fun Than You” will be accompanied by a fifteen-city stand-up tour in October and November 2009. In addition to performing, Karo is the Chief Executive Officer of www.Ruminations.com, the user-generated humor site and social network he founded in August 2008. Karo is perhaps best known for “Ruminations,” the email column he began twelve years ago from his freshman dorm room at the University of Pennsylvania and that remains an international phenomenon.
