"Utterly delightful" essays from the creator of the HBO's Bored to Death reveal intimate details of his life as a famously neurotic New York writer (Brendan Halpin, Los Angeles Times).   Jonathan Ames has drawn comparisons across the literary spectrum, from David Sedaris to F. Scott Fitzgerald to P.G. Wodehouse, and his books, as well as his abilities as a performer, have made him a favorite on the Late Show with David Letterman. Whether he's chasing deranged cockroaches around his apartment, kissing a beautiful actress on the set of an avant-garde film, finding himself stuck perilously on top of a fence in the middle of the night in Memphis, or provoking fights with huge German men, Jonathan Ames has an uncanny knack for getting himself into outlandish situations.   In I Love You More Than You Know, Ames once again turns his own adventures, neuroses, joys, heartaches, and insights into profound and hilarious tales. Alive with love and tenderness for his son, his parents, his great-aunt--and even strangers in bars--Ames looks beneath the surface of our world to find the beauty in the perverse, the sweetness in loneliness, and the humor in pain in essays that are "both poignant and silly--an irresistible mix" (John Dicker, Philadelphia Weekly).… (mer)

A quick read that offers a few laughs.

A review on the cover likens him to an edgier David Sedaris. I do agree, however edgier doesn't necessarily mean better. This guy is way too perverted. I pray his thoughts don't reflect the thoughts of an average male. No wonder he's so self-deprecating. When you have nothing but sex on your mind, how could you manage to live a fulfilling life? This guy is in his 40s and seems to be in the same exact place he was in his 20s. I find it pretty sad. But at least he can make light of his situation... ( )

I love Jonathan Ames, perhaps more than you will ever know. Since the first time I stumbled upon him performing/reading at Brookline Booksmith, I find few other authors so loveable in their quirks, bitter honesty, weirdness, odd devotion to his son, family and prostitutes. I think this is his best anthology yet. I read it in the bath, on the toilet, in waiting rooms, in bed. I would let myself only read a chapter/essay at a time. I don't know if he is for everyone, but hey-that is was Dave Barry is for, right? ( )
