It's interesting that you like his books -- he has always struck me as a pretty guy-oriented writer, and I doubted that he'd get (or is worthy of) a sympathetic reading on the ladies' side...
Funny is funny. Sometimes it is quite interesting for a woman to hear a man's perspective of things, especially when it is funny. If I didn't appreciate that, it's doubtful that I'd frequent a forum that is predominantly male. I find many posts here amusing--not the vulgar ones, mind you, but some people here are quite witty and insightful.
