Date Meeting Held: October 22
Summary: Comedian Danny Wallace decides that after saying no to various different things and generally feeling very depressed, he will start saying YES more often.
The book charts the highs and lows of his yes quest and is generally very funny: he goes on lots of random trips and meets interesting people.
Threaded through this is the ongoing tale of Wallace's love life and his career progression (both of which seem to go from strength to strength on the basis of saying YES).
Generally I liked the book: it is easy to read and entertaining - but my inner cynic found the love story part a bit cloying and the end a bit contrived. I thought Wallace did well at conveying the central message of the book to his readers without becoming too bogged down in it. While reading it I resolve to adopt a more positive attitude towards life and take up more offers.
