Here area few of my favorite quotes from Shit Falls Up:
"I should embrace this moment. The moment I took my pride and self-respect, spit on it, threw it in the gutter, and then stomped on it repeatedly just for good measure."
"I just stood there shaking inside when I formulated a new, life theory: Hugs Kill."
"This woman just bought an apartment like I buy dinner. Well, actually Sandy buys dinner. I‘m nearly broke."
"Sandy got upset. She leaned in even closer. I could really get a good look at her face. Her teeth were really white. I wonder what toothpaste she used. I needed to get myself a tube. Her eyes were really green, too. They were piercing right through me when she again reassured me, 'I am going to leave him. I want to be with you. Just give me some time.'"

Sh*t Falls Up Now Available
SH*T FALLS UP
by David Deutsch
One morning, David Michaels awakens at his sister’s studio apartment and ponders how it all went wrong for him. Three weeks earlier, he had a beautiful girlfriend, a fabulous sub-let apartment in Manhattan and a seemingly secure job at a top, New York investment bank. After losing everything, including his hair, all he has now is a place to sleep, albeit on a twin-size mattress that he must inflate every night. However, this is better than his other, only true option - returning for a third time to his parent’s house.
David’s life-long aspiration is to be a writer, and he has notebooks filled with stories and ideas. One story - the only story he has published - won him a prize while in law school. Unlucky at love, his friends set him up with a woman who bases her life on insights gained from reality TV, and he reluctantly (and hilariously) joins an online Jewish dating service. Frustrated with his career choice of law, he happily accepts a job as a lowly sales clerk at a women’s shoe store. When he becomes manager, he decides once and for all to regain control of his life. On a daily basis, he shuts himself in his office, keeps the booze flowing and pounds out a short story on the absurdity of his life.
When his short story suddenly garners high acclaim, he is left again to pondering. Does he settle down with his hot, volatile, socialite girlfriend, who helped him get his story published? Or does he pursue a woman whom he believes is his soul mate, though he can’t stop lying to her?
At times, gut-wrenchingly funny, other times, soulful and touching, Sh*t.Falls.Up. places the reader in the mind of a man who does his best thinking on an inflatable air mattress.
