Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About is a classic and utterly hilarious website in which Mil Millington documents his stormy relationship with Margret, his German girlfriend. Now, the website is a novel, in which Millington uses his life as the basis for a bureaucratic thriller about an IT professional at a University library whose co-workers use him as a patsy in their shady dealings.
I read the novel yesterday on a long plane ride, and it's pretty good. It's every bit as funny as the website (which is saying something), and the characters are well-drawn and sympathetic. The plot is pretty much a bolt-on, of course, and you won't get up from this book and change the world, but it's certainly a nice bit of summer reading.
