Synopsis

Okay.  You're about to listen to the excerpt, but you're not really ready to commit.  You're looking at this screen, reading the copy, hoping to get a preview--a taste of what's to come before you plunk down actual cash.  I respect that.  I would do the same thing myself.

But here's the problem: this is just an excerpt.  You can't sum up a whole three-hour program with just an excerpt--there isn't enough time.

I will tell you this, though:

Couplehood is all about the stuff that's good and bad about being part of a couple.

It's pretty funny.

My wife laughed.

You'll understand it because I wrote it specifically for you.  (And I'm not just saying that.)

The price is reasonable, especially if you compare it to what it would cost you to take time off from work and produce your own set of tapes.

Worse comes to worst, after you've listened you can say, "Well, that was kind of tedious, but I certainly enjoyed that copy on the Website."

There.  Does that help?

About this title

Review:

A popular standup comic's gentle riffs on the non-single state. Buy two -- one for yourself, one for your significant other -- and read them in bed together. If you laugh at the same parts, give yourselves two points; when you have 10,000 points, write to Paul Reiser and tell him what a great marriage you have and how funny his book is.

From the Publisher:

"In the tradition of the #1 best-seller SeinLanguage, Bantam Books proudly presents the first book by Paul Reiser, television's sharpest, funniest observer of love, marriage and other mysteries of life. A veteran comic performer, Reiser is best-known as the co-creator and star of the highly-rated NBC comedy, Mad About You, which Time Magazine called "the season's best new sitcom" in its 1992 debut. Every Thursday night more than twenty million viewers watch as Paul Reiser reveals the most intimate and hilarious scenes of a marriage. Now for the first time, Reiser brings his trademark wit to the page in a book that will delight his eagerly-awaiting audience, and anyone else who has ever fallen in love--or tried not to. In Couplehood, a New York Times bestseller for more than 40 weeks, Reiser reflects on what it means to be half of a couple -- everything from the science of hand holding, to the technique of tag-team storytelling, to the politics of food and why it always seems to come down to chicken or fish.
