Help me find this book

Hey guys, I'm looking to find a book that I can't remember the name or author of. Maybe you guys can help me... I saw this book at my local Border's about a month or two ago, on the new releases table. I think it was paperback (trade paperback sized), and I'm pretty sure it was fiction. The cover was white with black lettering and the name of the book was kind of long. The author was male, and the story was a first-person narrative about a twenty-something guy. The only thing from inside the book I can remember is that within the first few pages, the main character wrote out a list of "things to do today", and he had "jerk off" or some similar euphemism on there like four times throughout the day. It seemed like a pretty funny book.

I also remember somebody on one of the PA forums post a picture of the cover of this book in one of the "what books are you reading?" type of threads that pop up every now and again. But, for the life of me, I can't find the post in any of the book threads I found when searching. It was a few weeks to a month ago, so I can't remember which thread it was exactly.

Can somebody help me? I went back to Border's and searched the new release table, and scanned through the fiction section, with no luck, and I've spent the last couple hours going back through old threads trying to find that post somebody made. So, I know someone on these forums is reading or has read the damned thing.

Thanks.

    I don't know but it sounds a bit like I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell maybe.

    I haven't read it though so I don't know.

    Nope, that's not it. Thanks, though.

    Anyone else know?

    Is it maybe Chuck Palahniuk's Choke? It's a pretty funny book about a conniving, sexually compulsive ex-medical student.

    If it's not, perhaps it should be. It's just that good.

    No, this was an author I'd never heard of, may have been his first novel.

    I think the name was something like "The Guy's Guide to...." something something.

    And somebody linked a picture of the cover in one of the book threads on one of the PA forums, so somebody around here has read it, or is reading it.

    If you're absolutely sure it's not Choke or Survivor, then sorry, I dunno.

    Actually it was this one. I found it a few days ago.

    It doesn't sound as appealing after reading the amazon plot synopsis.

    But thanks, guys.
