6. Yes Man, Danny Wallace
This book surprised me by being almost four hundred pages long, and I surprised myself by whipping through it in three days! It's very different from the movie that was based on it. Being based on Wallace's own experiment, it's more realistic (but still quite embellished, I'm sure) and there are more negative outcomes from always saying "yes." I liked it, but I'm not quite sure what to say about it ... Both the book and the movie make me feel like I should attempt some sort of "yes" project, but at the same time they both end with the message that it is okay to say "no" sometimes too, so in the end I'm just like uhm ... okay then. :/

Well, actually I do like the "say yes more" idea of the book as opposed to the "always say yes" idea of the movie. It reminds me of "look up more," which I have been trying to do. x)

(My goodness but it was nice to read a book that wasn't totally depressing! xD )
