haha same here... or well they do now because I have nagged their ears of about him haha!

I MUST SEE THEM!
Aaaah I see, I ordered them online actually in their original language because I thought that reading them translated to swedish would make them lose their charm.
So glad you found it, he is a very talented writer! AND OH GOD!!! I WANT ONE TOOOOOOOO! D8 haha!And I liked the long story, always fun to talk to a fellow Wallace-fan haha^^

Well, I recently finnished reading Yes Man which is probably his most famous book and I laughed my entire way through it, the way he writes comedy is just genious and very unique, I haven't seen anyone write even remotley close to the way that he does. Yes Man moved up to one of my favourite books instantly.
I started reading "Awkward situations for men" today and have read 33 pages in to it. The quality varies I must say. It's written in a way where every chapter is its own little story and some of them are just strokes of genious (like Yes Man is) and some of them are mediocre. But this is, as said, just 30 pages of a whole book and I am sure that my opinion of the book will change as I keep reading because he still writes brilliantly (if not even better now!) and some of these chapters has had me rolling on the floor laughing^^

HAHA sorry for the massive comment!

hhahha i can't do that with my friends xD my friends are really stubborn xD


hahah here are the pictures of him and the bear just pres the first one and pres next until you saw them all XD he's so cute in those pictures x] :: [link]

and this is him and santa(who i think works with him on a radioshow) :: [link]

also him in a white suit (i'm in love with this picture just because he looks so classy):: [link]

hahah i have far more also haha have you heard him sing yet >3< its adorable


yeah i think the same thats why i never buy trabslated books!! :D i'm so glad i found waterstones!!! i am going to read it during my 5 hours in the plane i'm really scared of planes so akward moments is going to be a distraction :D


uhu uhu :D waah is yes man really so funny?? cuz i saw the movie (before i even knew what danny was) and it wasn't really funny
he is pretty unique but thats probably because all he writes it personal experience xD hahahaha sometimes it makes you wonder what the fuck he was thinking xD

hmm i hope it gets better but i think its going to be a fun book to read :D (and sitract me anough from screaming and trying to jump out of the airplane xD)

but isn't it nice that it has like slow chapters and more easy chapters so that idf you just read a slow chapter you would appriciate the easy chapter more? =D

i so hope the shop owner at waterstones will call me for the cardbord cutout!!! hehehe :D

i love massive comments xD also i like talking about danny x3

Haha the bear pics are adorable and goofy, just like him haha^^

The white suit is YUMMYYYYYY *drools a little*

I have heard him sing! the national anthem of Lovely! (how to start your own country" You've got to teach the world to sing, Danny Wallace is the king! haha^^

At least not comedy, it tends to loses it's touch when it gets translated^^

It really is, i didn't like the movie at all and when I heard he wrote the book that inspired it I only gave it a chance because he wrote it and I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it is such an awesome book! Haha probably! At one point when he's doing a show (called Danny's path to enlightenment) he gets asked to aggravate a monk , when reading the book you realise that the tc-team wants him to question the monk's way of living but he decides to start poking him xD I sometimes wonder if he is a little daft or if he's just a genious haha!

It probably does, I mean I do like it so I am recomending it! Even though I am only 30 pages in to it, I am jus saying that so far, Yes man is better^^
Oh one more thing we have in common! I am also terrified of flying and was hoping that I could get the book before I went to London as a distraction but I sadly got it when I came home instead :/

Probably, and I appreciate his writing skilles even when he writes something that isn't particularly hilarious so he keeps me entertained haha^^

I will keep my fingers crossed for you haha!

hehe i think so to!

i know right... he looks so .... not married-man like :P

hahahaha him singing is adorable! also he has 2 other songs :3 those are cute to xD
btw danny's site is really funny to :3 he updates it alot and sends little notes to everyone xD

ugh yeah your right .. some of the things will just get lost in the tranlation... and then all you have left is a cold little book xD

hmmmm when i watched the movie i spotted danny! in the background he is talking to some girl xD here's the screenshots:: [link]
haha i didn't like the movie either but i think the book is going to be amazing because danny already said they made like really really big changes... at least that is what he said.... did they make big changes??

xD he really poked him!! hahahah xD i'd love to see that!!!
i think he is smart actually he is one of those people (i think) that thinks about everything a bit to long and comes up with these weird ideas

hahah i'm going to buy them both anyway!! and i'll probably like them both to...
yes man is probably better yes :p but then again yes man is a genius idea :P

yay!! planes are just terrifying everytime i try to calm my nerves but i always get so paranoid when on planes every little bump it makes i feel so scared...
i'm sadly not going to london xD when i go to london i go by bus xD its only one day away by bus :P i'm going to iraq first and then i'm going to london ^3^
things like that always happen that you plan something and it comes out completely diffrent then you imagined...

yeah i wonder what he considers himself as first a writer and presentator a comidien.... probably a writer :D his writing skills are so fresh and its easy to follow his story's xD

thank you... but i wonder were i should put it if i get it anyway???

Yeah I heard that he was in the background but I never spotted him! Oh god, how could I have missed him? He is so clearly just there! XD
Yeah there were really big changes and they made the ending hugely more dramatic in the movie even though the books ending in itself is very touching (better than the movie) and would have made a great ending for a movie. And the fact that Jim Carrey doesn't make comedy even remotley similar to Danny Wallace makes it also lose it's charm. For God's sake, Yes Man needs Danny wallace-logic to work! XD

HE DID! I laughed so hard I cried XD Yeah, I was just joking with the "daft"-comment haha^^ I think so too, and the fact that he is very considerate of other people and tries so hard not to end up in awkward situations often puts him in those moments he is trying to avoid! I think he's just adorable haha^^

oh you are going to Iraq? awesome! What are you doing there? :)

I have like a real life-sized cardboard cut out of assassin's creed in my room, so if I can find the space for mine I am sure you can find space for yours haha^^
rawa1993's avatar
hahahah its so obvious xD he looks like he is enjoying himself :P
hmm next time i go to waterstone's i'm definetly going to get yes man >3< friends like these can wait for another month xD

jim carrey is just to goofey to play danny (though i also love jim carrey alot)
danny isn't trying to be goofy danny is just being himself xp
only he can come up with these ideas >3<

hahah i can actually picture him doing that XD and making a face while doing it X3
hahah the other day i showed mom the cover of akward moments the picture he is looking up and my mum said he looked a bit daft to xD but i think he is absolutely lovely and he tries to keep himself away from akward situations and that is what makes it so cute hahahha also i just love how his wife tries to prevent it everytime XD i can actually understand that she feels like she has a huge hugging bear that she has to take care off xD

heheh i come from iraq i was born there and have lived 7 years there xD hahahah just a little vacation and visiting famillie >3<
and after that i'll drop off in england to visit my fav uncle and aunt >3<

wow a assassin creed one??!! ezio or altair?? also heheh :3 lets just hope i get it first ;) i can always hang him on the wall xD
