a fair trade

so, i talked to the person who gave me the atkins book. i explained that his gift was the tackiest and most offensive gift i've ever gotten. (his answer to "what did you *think* my reaction would be?" was that he figured i'd enthusiastically join him on his quest for a carb-free existence. what-fucking-ever.)

i told him i'd try it for a month if and ONLY if he reads "wake up i'm fat" (camryn manheim's wonderful book)

which seems a fair trade.
