SH*T MY DAD SAYS by Justin Halpern is surprisingly touching. This book is based on the wildly popular twitter feed of the same name which chronicles the hilarious and often blunt statements of Justin's dad. In the book version, Justin goes into much more detail about life growing up with a father who is unafraid to say exactly what it on his mind. What comes to light is a portrait of a complicated and quite wise man doing his best to raise and love his family the only way he knows how. It's hysterical and much more enlightening than it has any right to be. At it's best moments, it reminds me of Calvin's conversations with his dad in Calvin and Hobbes, but with more f-bombs.
9/10
