It’s amazing the way women take care of all the hair on their bodies. On the subject of female beauty habits, Seinfeld appreciates that “Women definitely go to maintenance extremes. I completely forgot! I better get home.’ ” Time to hit the bars and pick up some hookers.

“Why do people who work in offices have pictures on their desk facing them?” he asks, “Do they forget that they’re married? Do they say to themselves, ‘All right.

Once a man has children, for the rest of his life, his attitude is ‘To hell with the world, I can make my own people, I’ll eat whatever I want, I’ll wear whatever I want and I’ll create whoever I want.’ ”īut his true brilliance shines through when he waxes irreverent on male-female relationships and the mysteries of the opposite sex.

Seinfeld holds his own on such typical comedy territory as technology: This book is divided into eight chapters that begin with the “Freeway of Love” and “Personal Maintenance” on through the more esoteric subjects of “Shut up and Drive” and “The Thing Is The Thing.” And just in case you forget what Seinfeld looks like, each chapter is preceded by funny black and white photos taken by celebrity photographer Annie Liebowitz. (If you’re a single woman, this is an especially appealing prospect.) But even if you aren’t familiar with his work (I’ve only seen the show twice), it’s easy to follow along. This, however, is not a problem with Jerry Seinfeld’s first book, “SeinLanguage.”įor fans of Seinfeld’s prime-time show, and there are legions of them-20 million viewers and counting, and the ratings are through the roof-reading this book will be like curling up with Seinfeld and having him whisper his witty observations about life into your ear. Without the comedian’s timing and expression, a lot of jokes fall flat on the page. There’s a problem with books written by comedians.
