Have you ever watched a man angling in the rain, building a shelter when there’s a bed waiting for him at home or peeing as high as he can up a wall?In Why Men Skim Stones, Chris Windle provides an amusing and indispensable insight into why men do the things they do. Here, finally, is a guide that tackles the big questions: why do male friends express their affection by subjecting each other to casual acts of violence? Why is it common for a man to have more of an idea of what he might do in the event of a zombie apocalypse, than what he might buy his mum for Christmas? If you’ve ever been dumbfounded when faced with a man who would rather talk to an inanimate object than read the instruction booklet, this is the book for you.Why Men Skim Stones is a compendium of oddness which, by offering explanations for man’s often bizarre behaviour, seeks to promote tolerance and understanding. This is a book that could save relationships, smooth family life or provide much needed reassurance for any man seeking to better understand his own actions.

Warum angeln Männer im strömenden Regen, und warum sortieren sie ihre CD-Sammlung alphabetisch? Und warum tun sie sich schwerer damit, sich ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für ihre Mutter auszudenken, als eine Überlebensstrategie für eine Invasion der Zombies zu entwickeln? Dieses Buch erklärt humorvoll von A bis Z die zahlreichen Variationen des manchmal bizarr anmutenden Verhaltens des modernen Mannes – und wirbt für Verständnis. Wenn Sie schon mal verblüfft beobachtet haben, wie ein Mann mit einem leblosen Objekt spricht, anstatt die Gebrauchsanweisung zu lesen, dann sollten Sie dieses Buch lesen!
