I bought this book because I could not believe it when I saw it for sale in a town of 1200 in central Italy. I imagine that if I didn't speak English fluently, a few of the puns/wit would have been lost on me as they were literally translated into the Italian text. As luck would have it though, they could be added to my reading of the book. I suspect the common convertion of wit to acronym (as an easy method to carry over the joke over a while) would be lost on most people who don't know that aspect of anglophone lingual habits.

I learnt a fair amount about open adoptions and I appreciated Dan's repeated warning that his partner and him did not have a common experience. I howled at some of the jesting between his catholic boyfriend and his atheism, as I've been in a similar dynamic in a past relationship. Other points of Savage's politics however were lost on me. His non-judgement/harm reduction take on Melissa was refreshing as was his challenge of the abilism/paranoia others expressed on people with AFS.

I'm glad I read it even though it was no literal work of genius. Makes up for a fair amount of the nonesense I've caught recently in his columns.
