I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell by Tucker Max

First of all, I'd like to thank my buddy D.J. for submitting this book for review.  Let's hope Sabrina either: a) doesn't know you read this, or b) thinks you were appalled by its content.  Best of luck with that....

Beer in Hell is a conundrum for the average guy.  It is very funny, but in a very bad way.  If you've ever laughed when you saw a guy trip in a parking lot, only to later find out he was mentally handicapped, you'll understand what I mean.  If you've ever tripped a mentally handicapped guy in a parking lot for your own amusement, well then, this is the greatest book you'll ever read.

Our boy Tucker is many things.  He is a fantastic story teller.  He is outgoing and has many friends.  He does well with the opposite sex.  Most of all, though, Tucker is a dick.  This is the point where I would usually preach being non-judgemental and say that it doesn't make him a bad person.  But in this case, it does.  Now don't get me wrong, even with all that being said, this is a fantastic read.  It brings a lot to the table.  It is very funny, raunchy as hell, and let's you feel better about yourself all at the same time.  Seriously, Charlie Sheen could read this and say, "Wow, that guy needs to treat women better".

I equate this book with cocaine.  Is it fun?  Yes.  Does it make you a worse person in the long run?  Yes.  Does the money you spent on this book support a bad cause?  Yes.  My suggestion?  Check it out from the library under an assumed name, put a book cover on it so your girlfriend and/or wife won't know what you are reading, and enjoy.  Now I'm off to take a shower.  I suddenly feel very dirty....

Under the Dome: A Novel by Stephen King

Let me get this out up front; Stephan King scares the crap outta me.  His writing is so evil and twisted, you know there are some wires upstairs that have to be crossed.  Not only that, but he looks exactly like you would expect him to look.  Seriously, if I stumbled upon him at a Red Sox game I would probably piss myself.  That being said, he is a hell of an author.

Under the Dome is awesome!  Every time you think it can't get any worse, it does.  Every time you think something good is going to happen, it doesn't.  At 1,072 pages (I shit you not) this monster is actually a pretty quick read.  Now, you have to be able to embrace your dark side, because the bad guys do a lot of damage for the majority of this.  But if you can power through, I think you'll like it.  Hell, it even has a bit of necrophilia in it, so how can you go wrong?
