Toby Young: How To Lose Friends & Alienate People

Finished this a couple of weeks ago. Highly enjoyable, not just for the at times hilariously inappropriate behaviour of a young British man trying to make it as a journalist in New York, but also for the thoughtful perspective on the social scene of the New York publishing elite.

For those who have read it, some highlights include:
Toby hiring a stripper to come into the office, without realising it was 'Bring your daughter to work' Day; Toby trying to sneak into Ralph Fiennes' VIP section to ask if Toby's friend was actually Ralph's first kiss; and his refusal to accept a woman's consistent rejections of marriage
.

The upcoming movie should be interesting, provided they include some of the sociological discussion and don't simply make "The Devil Wears Prada 2."
