Lad Lit

ada org sebut "dick lit"... are u into this genre?

This genre is prettyself-explanatory: literature written by men, with the main character being male. Mainly  the tone is very similar to chick lit抯 tone. The men in these books are often going through dating, work scenarios, love,family issues, and more. Sometimes these books have male and femalec haracters, so the line between chick lit and lad lit gets really fuzzy. In any case, it抯 fascinating to see perspectives from the malepoint of view. This genre has also been described as 揥hat books wouldbe if Bridget Jones was a guy

tak tau lah mardhiah whether tony parsons ni lad lit genre ke. saya ada terbaca he's the most high-profile British lad-lit author after Nick Hornby.
the truth is, i've never read his books.. yet
so, kalau bukan.. abaikan je lah

thnks for highlighting the genre...

might be a good read.

has anyone read Boy A by Jonathan Trigell? it's his debut novel, but it's good, and having read it, i think i'd categorize it as a somewhat lad-lit
