Happy 100th Post!

I am happy to report that this is post number 100 on Pop Culture Book Review. I started this blog back in August of 2006 and I know that I don't update it nearly enough, but I love writing reviews and getting feedback from my readers. Thank you all so much for contributing to my longevity. For my super exciting 100th post, I'm going to discuss lots of stuff that I've come across in the last few weeks:
I read the very cute gay epistolary novel Almost Like Being In Love by Steve Kluger. This book was so much fun because it references lots of musicals while telling a love story in an exciting style that made it fun to read.
Urban Dictionary just released their second volume entitled Mo' Urban Dictionary: Ridonkulous Street Slang Defined which is just as exciting as the first volume. It's both handy and funny - what more could you want? An aside: ridonkulous makes me think of the episode of How I Met Your Mother when Marshall goes to brunch with his law school friend Brad who describes the zucchini bread as ridonkulous. He he he. Also of note in How I Met Your Mother related news, the red-band R rated trailer was released yesterday for Jason Segel's movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall that comes out in April of this year and it's pretty funny.
Finally, I am super excited to get Seth Rudetsky's new roman a clef titled Broadway Nights: A Romp of Life, Love & Musical Theatre. I will let you guys know how it is once it finally arrives on hold for me. If you are a Broadway fan, I suggest watching Seth's videos since he is hi-larious. I especially love his rant about Barbara Walters and her musical stylings it made me laugh out loud.
So there you have it - hopefully you found something you liked and thanks again for helping me get to post #100. Here's to the next 100.

keep up the good work!
Thanks Katherine :)
Congratulations and good luck with the next hundred!
The Steve Kluger and Seth Rudetsky books sound like fun. I've never watched Seth's videos, but I'll check them out.
Thanks Esther, I appreciate it. You're going to love Seth's videos.
Happy 100th! It's a great milestone. Here's to 100 times many more!
I love that Seth Rudetsky can talk smack about Barbara Walters and be fabulous while doing it.
I'm totally putting his book on hold.
oops. You have double links to Urban Dictionary. I suppose I can do my own googling.
