Sensitive F, 34.Employed in publishing?Me too. Stay the hell away. Man on the inside seeks woman on the outside who likes milling around hospitals guessing the illnesses of out-patients. 30-35. Leeds.They Call Me Naughty Lolais a testament to the creativity and humor that can still be found among men and women longing for love and allergic to the concepts of Internet and speed dating. Here is an irresistible collection of the most brilliant and often absurd personal ads from the world's funniest -- and most erudite -- lonely-hearts column.

These are personal ads looking for love or companionship placed by the erudite readers of the London Review of Books. I found it absolutely hilarious. Best taken in small doses, this might make a suitable book for the loo when you have time to cheer your lonely heart. ( )

A collection of often hilarious personal ads from the "London Review of Books"; I don't know if I would answer any of the ads but it's intriguing to wonder how the hook ups would have turned out. Lots of good examples and seemingly a lot of men in their thirties still living with their mothers, and if none of the ads take your fancy, "They call me naughty Lola"'s index also contains a good biography of Evel Kneivel.

Much the same sort of thing as its sequel (https://www.librarything.com/work/9207300/reviews/67749168), which I happened to read first.

Light-hearted silliness for literate/literary intellectuals and wannabes. Some bizarre, some poignant, others knowingly snarky. As with the sequel, there’s a random appendix: this time, a run-down of the career of Evel Knievel (presumably ‘because’ one of the ads made passing reference to him). ( )

Yep, just page after page of personal ads. Some of them are quite funny, but most come off as desparate. I hope these people found other people because they really seem like the sort of people who need people; but some of them also seem downright loony. ( )

First, it's kind of sad how many of these I recognize from the LRB. Second, it's hilarious, and should be a permanent fixture in bathrooms. ( )
