Ruminations on Twentysomething Life

By Aaron Karo

Book Overview

IS THERE LIFE AFTER COLLEGE?
In this sidesplitting follow-up to his smash hit, Ruminations on College Life, Aaron Karo takes readers on another outrageous journey -- this time through his early twenties. With hilarious anecdotes and irreverent observations, Karo captures the twentysomething experience like never before and answers the question, "Is there life after college?"
Featuring the very best of his world-renowned email column as well as brand-new material published here for the first time, Ruminations on Twentysomething Life details Karo's evolution from frat boy to manhood and explores the frenzied lives of a generation living in the strange and unique gap between college and marriage. With his trademark acerbic wit, Karo ruminates on everything from your first day on the job to the last call at the bar.
Perfect for students about to get their first dose of reality, twentysomethings procrastinating at work, or anyone who wants to relive their glory days, this book is sure to have readers laughing out loud and nodding their heads in agreement that there is indeed life after college.

Correcting errors in previous two reviews

I would just like to correct the egregious errors in the previous two reviews by "Dr. Jones" and "Ellie." Dr. Jones claims the book was just taken out of Karo's online column. Uh, yeah, of course it is, it says so right in the book description. However, none of those columns are available on Karo's web site anymore and there is a ton of new material in the book that was never in his column to begin with. Now, to Ellie. She says, Karo talks about his SAT scores. False: he talks about his friend's SAT scores. She says, Karo quit his job to live off his parents. False: Karo says he left his job because he didnt't like it and makes a point to say his parents cut him off after graduation. She says, if Karo didn't have money, girls wouldn't give him the time of day. False: uh... where does Karo say he has money? In fact, one of the chapters is actually entitled "Fat, Broke & Hungry." I don't even think Ellie even read this book. Both Ellie and Dr. Jones are just haters and you should disregard their reviews. This book, as well as Karo's first book are f---- hysterical and should be required reading for any college student or twentysomething. Enough said.

Cardio Laughter

I love Karo! He is amazing, I could'nt wait for the book to come out. My friends and I speak in Karo, just quoting, its Hysterical! MUST BUY!

THIS BOOK IS F**ING HILARIOUS!!!!

No one quite tells it like Aaron Karo. This book makes you laugh at every little mundane detail of our twentysomething existence. I felt myself saying out loud, "yeah, that's totally me" about 400 times. Every twentysomething should have this book if only to laugh at how similar all of us really are! He's right that this sequel doesn't disappoint (I have Ruminations on College Life as well). It's nice to know that when I'm 50 I'll be able to pick up this book and laugh about what it meant to be twentysomething. Thanks Karo!!!

Twentysomethings must own this book!

I've been getting Karo's Ruminations for over a year- I own College Life, and picked up Twentysomething Life yesterday. If you've never heard of Karo before, buy this book! If you get Ruminations, buy this book! I'd be willing to bet part of my miserable twentysomething salary that you will laugh out loud. I still laugh out loud when I pick up Ruminations on College Life- I keep them both handy for when I need a pick me up. All you twentysomethings, don't stress, we're all in this together!

A Worthy Sequel to Ruminations on College Life

If you liked Ruminations on College Life and can relate to any of the insights brought up in it, this is the book for the twentysomething in you.
