Books I like in my pants

I was thinking about writing a bit about some books I’ve recently read and liked. Then I heard about this thing where you add “In My Pants” to book titles. In some cases, hilarity ensues. (“In your pants” supposedly works too, but I think my pants are funnier than your pants. No offense.)

So here are some books I’ve enjoyed over the last year or so … in my pants.

• Bummer In My Pants, Janice Shapiro
• Room In My Pants, Emma Donoghue
• All The Pretty People In My Pants, Ariel Gore
• The Leisure Seeker In My Pants, Michael Zadoorian
• The Gift In My Pants, Lewis Hyde
• Housekeeping Vs. The Dirt In My Pants, Nick Hornby
• You Don’t Love Me Yet In My Pants, Jonathan Lethem
• Normal People Don’t Live Like This In My Pants, Dylan Landis
• The Orange Eats Creeps In My Pants, Grace Krilanovich
• Financial Lives of the Poets In My Pants, Jess Walter
• Taking Things Seriously In My Pants, Joshua Glenn and Carol Hayes
• Before You Suffocate Your Damn Fool Self In My Pants, Danielle Evans

Okay, that last one I’ve just purchased and haven’t actually read yet … but come on, that’s too good not to include.

Digging a bit deeper through my bookshelves, I thought these two could combine to tell a story:

• Torch In My Pants, Cheryl Strayed
• Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned In My Pants, Wells Tower

And these three had me cackling like Beavis and Butthead:

• We Need To Talk About Kevin In My Pants, Lionel Shriver
• A Massive Swelling In My Pants, Cintra Wilson
• Rule Of The Bone In My Pants, Russell Banks

Yes, I am setting the bar high for intellectual discourse. Welcome to my blog.
