I enjoy the writing of Mil Millington, and some of his most amusing isn’t available in book form: that being, of course, the original, electronic catalog of Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About. Yes, he does have a novel with the same name, but it’s just that: a novel with the same name as the webpage. The two share none of the same content other than a similar tone, as far as I recall. His classic thingsmygirlfriendandihavearguedabout.com page is now at http://www.mil-millington.com and is highly recommended reading–I find I come back to it once every year and a half or so and find it freshly amusing.
Do note that the webpage isn’t updated. For new content, however, there’s Mil’s Mailing List, each edition of which generally contains one new Thing (yesterday’s–#49–was a particularly good one). It appears irregularly, so don’t expect new material every week or even every month, but when it does appear it’s always worth taking the time to peruse. Suffice to say, it’s the rare email list that is capable of inducing a smile merely by its inbox appearance. Effective marketing too, since each time I find myself rereading the webpage I generally end up buying a copy of Millington’s newest book (which at the moment is Instructions For Living Someone Else’s Life.)
