Book Review: San Diego Union-Tribune
Writing in the San Diego Union-Tribune, Martin Zimmerman recommends YOLD as the perfect stocking stuffer:
"anus horribilus"?!?
Ted Rall is a terrific journalist (“Silk Road to Ruin”), a take-no-prisoners political cartoonist (“America Gone Wild,” to name just one collection, and his work runs in many media outlets) and ... gigolo?
Well, he was once, in 1984, aka “The Year of Loving Dangerously” (NBM, 127 pages, $18.95). Rall, as memoirist, teams up with artist Pablo G. Callejo (“Castaways”) to look at an anus horribilus most of us would just as soon forget: His girlfriend dumped him, he was kicked out of college, booted from his job, you name it. He drifts from woman to woman, to survive. There’s sex, sure, but it’s a hard and humiliating way to go, and Rall is brutal as he savages himself and the choices he made:
“What begins as simple opportunities quickly devolves into a jumble of guilt, bitterness and a host of other dangerous emotions.”
"anus horribilus"?!?

I think he just called you a horrible asshole most of us would just as soon forget. Sounds like he liked the book, though.
I was going say much the same thing, but the Reverend beat me to it. And they wonder why yesterday news on dead-tree sales are going down the drain.
For the Latin-challenged (which doesn't exclude yours truly), the correct form would be "annus horribilis."
Actually I think he's saying you were a bad piece of ass.
