Twenty-one Truths About Love

You've heard of list-icles. Now meet the list-ovel... list-novel? Anyway, I didn't know how this format was going to work out in telling a story but it's been an entertaining ride. Dan, who agonises about leaving his stable teaching job to open a book store, write lists as a coping mechanism. When you list down everything, you can still tell a fairly decent story. So Dan's wife Jill got pregnant and this sends him into a secret panic mode because the book store was not making money and babies cost a lot. He had to come up with money before their child arrives. This list of a book managed to sketch out the relationship between him and Jill, his employees at the book store, and his attempts to raise cash. Pretty fun read.
