Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Like the bestsellers PostSecret and Found, I Lick My Cheese appeals to the voyeur in all of us and presents uncensored evidence from everyday lives. Presenting four-color reproductions of all kinds of notes between roommates along with her own witty commentary, Oonagh O’Hagan humorously reveals the ridiculous experiences, twisted battles, and petty desperation of people who have to live together. From the bedroom to the living room and all the filthy kitchens and bathrooms in between, every imaginable trial is on display here: bongs accidentally left out for visiting grandparents, panty-sniffing creeps, ham theft, and things stored in refrigerators that really, really shouldn’t be.
 
Originally published in the U.K., where it was a big bestseller, I Lick My Cheese has been revised and Americanized to be the ultimate support-group-in-a-book for those suffering from enforced cohabitation.

About the Author

Oonagh O’Hagan is an acclaimed designer and lecturer in fashion at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, London and UCCA. She created the website www.roommatesanonymous.com, which inspired the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed so hard that milk came out of my nostrils..., March 24, 2009
Have you ever had a roommate? Did you hate them? Were they annoying? Don't feel so bad. It can always be worse. This book is proof.

It contains reproductions of real notes written by real roommates. Or, at least that is what we are led to believe. They seem real. Some of them are very funny. Others are troubling. It's a fun read. Laugh. Or cry.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 15, 2009
By Richard A. Fleiss (White Plains, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
When I received an email about this book, I thought "how could this be anything but entertaining?" Well, it's not - yet. The notes themselves are mildly amusing, but the comments the author has attached to each take away from them, they do not add to them at all.
Don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh, August 11, 2009
By Kab00m "Kab00m" (United States) - See all my reviews
The notes featured in the book are mostly funny, but other things detracted from the enjoyment. Some of the handwriting is hard to read. Occasionally there are minor obstructive differences between British and American English. But the thing that virtually suffocates the book's humor is the author's commentary which appears beside each note (doubling the pages). They have all the effect of dissecting a good joke to find out why it's funny -- when done, nothing funny remains. They are as fun as getting drunk with a grammarian.

This would be a good gift for former roommates or those currently suffering by such hands. If you want a rich compilation of notes and the like that demonstrate the comedy and tragedy of our discarded thoughts, try Davy Rothbart's Found series. For something specific to roommates, try College Humor's "Roommate Confessions."

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book!
I gave this book to my roommate for Christmas and he loves it! It's very amusing and a bit raunchy which is right up his alley. Read more
