Summary: It wouldn't be as funny if it were fiction.
Review: My best friend recently moved into his own apartment, along with a roomate, and the only reason they don't live like P.J. is because they can't afford enough stuff to make that big a mess with. And they actually have tried to do the dishes with a garden hose. This book had me literarly (sic.) rolling off the couch laughing. Even if you don't agree with P.J.'s politics (and this book is mostly free from them anyway), read it.
Rating: 
Summary: One of P.J.'s earliest works, and one of his best.
Review: Not as good as "Eat The Rich" or "Parliament of Whores" or "All The Trouble in the World" or "Holidays in Hell" or "Give War A Chance"; those books are thought-provoking as well as screamingly funny. This one is just screamingly funny, but this might actually be a plus for people whose response to some of P.J.'s better works is a defensive "That's not funny!"; P.J. has a tendancy to poke fun at EVERYTHING, including the sacred cows of people who he disagrees with (and sometimes those he agrees with.)

Summary: The best

Summary: So True You Wonder How He Saw Your Apartment
Review: O'Rourke has always written incisive and perceptive material, and this, his first book, points up the "always" part. Dorm rooms, bachelor pads, teenagers' rooms -- they're all the same when you come down to it, and for the same reason -- people who aren't answerable to anyone else (or don't think they aren't) live like they aren't answerable to anyone else! O'Rourke is married with a kid now, and if he lived like he's written about here, he probably did it to get out of his own former house. But then, as he puts it, "We're all bachelors now, strangers in a home we never made."

Summary: The Bachelor Home Companion
Review: The Bachelor Home Companion: A Practical Guide to Keeping House Like A Pig written by P.J. O'Rourke is a very funny, keep you in stiches book. You'll never keep a house neat and tidy after you read this book. Of Course, that's assuming that you already do. What its like as a bachelor in theory as to actually being one is, according to O'Rourke, a great disparity. If you want to laugh and be entertained at the same time then this little tome is for you to enjoy. Humor abounds and your life will definately take a turn... for better or worse will depend on you.According to O'Rourke... "How often does a house need to be cleaned, anyway? As a general rule, once every girlfriend. After that she can get to know the real you."

Summary: Can't understand why marriage isn't more popular among men
Review: The sad fact is I can actually see parts of myself in this book. P.J. has a way of seeing the extreme side of anything and making a very funny book out of it. Have read most of his other works and this one definetly ranks near the top. The short length is actually a plus, as his advice is condensed into a "guide" format. Anybody who has never read a P.J. O'Rourke book before would be good to start off with this one.

Summary: Should get 6 out of 5 stars
Review: This book is absolutely hilarious! I'm a big fan of PJ's, so how did I miss this little gem until now? Anyway, this book had me literally LOL (Laughing Out Loud) as I read it in my own bachelor apartment. PJ has captured the essence of bachelordom, namely, we are all basically mischievous boys at heart who love chaos and disorder. PJ on cooking - "If you think of it as setting fire to things and making a mess, it's fun". His recipes alone will leave you in stitches. And he provides all sorts of ready excuses for putting off anything related to cleaning or keeping up one's residence. This especially rang true as I surveyed my own humble abode and thought "You know, I kinda LIKE having all that clutter on the floor, it makes the place looked lived in." This book is simply required reading for anyone who's experienced the joys of sharing an off campus apartment with two other complete slobs, where beer cans and empty pizza boxes are the primary forms of interior decoration. Let's just say it's a pleasant trip down memory lane for any healthy, red blooded American male, and should get 6 out of 5 stars if such a thing were possible!
