Book Five

My next book is I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max. I'm pretty excited about this book. I've heard a lot of good things about it and that it's hilarious so I'm looking forward to reading it. It's a New York Times Bestseller. I've got high hopes for this book. I've read a few excerpts of it online and those were funny, so I'm hoping the whole book will be like that.

Here is reader feedback:

"I am completely baffled as to how you can congratulate yourself for being a womanizer and a raging drunk, or think anyone cares about an idiot like you. Do you really think that exploiting the insecurities of others while getting wasted is a legitimate thing to offer?"

"Thank you, thank you, thank you--for sharing with us your wonderful tales of drunken revelry, for teaching me what it means to be a man, for just existing so I know that there is another option; I too can say 'screw the system' and be myself and have fun. My life truly began when I inished reading your stories. now, when faced with a quandary about what course of action I should take, I just ask myself, 'What would Tucker do?'--and I do it, and I am a better man for it."

"I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you. You are a disgusting, vile, repulsive, repugnant, foul creature. Because of you, I don't believe in God anymore. No just God would allow someone like you to exist."

"I'll stay with God as my lord, but you are my savior. I just finished reading your brilliant stories, and I laughed so hard I almost vomited. i want to bring that kind of joy to people. You're an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."

"You are the coolest person I can even imagine existing. If you slept with my girlfriend, it'd make me love her more."

And here's a little about the author:

Tucker Max received his B.A. from the University of Chicago, where he graduated in 1998. He attended Duke Law School on an academic scholarship, where he graduated with a J.D. in 2001 (despite the fact that he neglected to buy any of his textbooks for his final two years and spent part of one semester--while still enrolled in classes--living in Cancun). Tucker is purportedly the reason Duke dropped from 7 to 11 in the USN&WR rainkings during his tenure. He currently lives in New York, and when he isn't drinking or fornicating, he writes for his website, tuckermax.com.

What Tucker has to say about himself:

"My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women that is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging dickhead. But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world."

If you've heard about this book, or if this is the first time and it sounds hilarious, you might as well just go out and get it, or order it from Amazon.com:
