You may be asking yourself, "Why should I listen to a random guy who I don't even know as to what books I should read?" Good question. (If you asked my wife, she would probably say you shouldn't. She stopped listening to me a long time ago, but I digress.) Anyway, here's the answer, because I'm just like you. I've been married for just short of an eternity. I have a couple of kids, a job, and a bunch of bills. I love sports, booze, swearing, hanging out with the fellas, and reading. I read a lot. I read at lunch, I read on the throne, I read every night in bed before drifting off to a fitful sleep (Why am I reading as opposed to doing something a little bit more cardio intensive in bed before going to sleep? See above.) Anyway, I've been building my library for a few years now and have over 270 volumes in it. I'll be posting a couple of reviews a week (in theory). I'll start with some of my favorites from the past and add new books as I finish them. Read the reviews, buy the books, and enjoy!

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang by Chelsea Handler

I know, I know, why am I reviewing (let alone reading in the first place) a book by a bitchy female comedian on a blog for guys? Allow me to answer alphabetically:

A) Chelsea is basically a guy with a vagina.
B) She is absolutely bat shit crazy.
C) I truly believe, at her core, she is kind of a bad person.

Add this all together and you get a wildly entertaining book. Now I will warn you, the first chapter of this tome is a bit hard to stomach (especially if you have young daughters). Doesn't mean it's not funny, which it is, it's just tough to read. From there it just gets funnier and a lot less creepy. Her family stories are hysterical and her father absolutely steals the book.
At only 244 pages, and formatted the way it is, this is a really quick, light read. It is, however, well worth the time.
