I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max
This won't get the standard review because it's unlike anything else you'll read.
basically, self-professed womanizing, alcoholic asshole tells all his best stories.
the stories where he lets his actions speak for themselves are hilarious. There were a few times on the plane i had to put the book down or hand it to Michael because i was going to make a scene.
Sometimes though, he resorts to a "listen to how funny I am" narrative that just doesn't work. As i've mentioned before, it's hard to like someone who laughs at his own jokes.
For example, when he throws a fat girl's clothes out his bedroom window so he won't have to introduce her to his friends it's hilarious. when he talks about how funny it was to make fun of a fat girl at a party, it wasn't so funny. Not because it was mean, but because what he was saying wasn't funny. (Sort of like how the why did the chicken cross the road joke is not funny, but not because its mean.)
check out some of the stories at his web site.

Ok, i'll now break the rule i just complained about and laugh at my own joke...A while back i had to write about a musuem closing its egypt exhibit for renovations. My headline:
Caulk like an Egyptian

I broke a string on my guitar the other day trying to tune it. I don't know why i was tuning it considering i don't know how to play it.

I read that Tucker Max book a while back. A lot of it is pretty funny. But I think he's pretty much full of shit. I mean, I don't care how much game you have, you're never guaranteed to get laid every night you go out (especially in the bathroom of a bar in which you met a girl a few minutes before). At the beginning of the book, I was thinking, "This guy would be fun to hang out with." By the end, he was so full of himself I was thinking, "I want to punch this guy repeatedly in the face."
