Sh*t My Dad Says

After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend twenty-eight-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his seventy-three-year-old dad. Sam Halpern who is "like Socrates but angrier and with worse hair" has never minced words and when Justin moved back home he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him:

"That woman was sexy. . . . Out of your league? Son let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them."

"Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking."

"The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay fine yes the worst thing you can be is a Nazi but then number two is liar. Nazi one liar two."

More than a million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter and in this book his son weaves a brilliantly funny touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes. An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field in Denny's during excruciating family road trips and most frequently in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts Sh*t My Dad Says is a chaotic hilarious true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.

The Book of Man: Readings on the Path to Manhood

New York Times best-selling author William J. Bennett uses stories essays historical vignettes and contemporary profiles to explore and explain what it means to be a man. Fashioning men has never been easy but today it seems particularly tough. Boys need heroes to embody the everlasting qualities of manhood: honor duty valor and integrity. Without such role models boys will naturally choose perpetual childhood over the rigors of becoming a man-as many women teachers coaches employers and adults in authority can quickly attest. Too many boys and men waste time in pointless and soulless activities unmindful of their responsibilities uncaring in their pursuits. Have we forgotten how to raise men how to lead our boys into manhood?

In The Book of Man Bennett charts a clearer course offering a positive encouraging uplifting realizable idea of manhood redolent of history and human nature and practical for contemporary life. Like his classic The Book of Virtues Bennett uses profiles stories letters poems and myths to bring his subject to life defining what a man should be how he should live and to what he should aspire in several key areas of life.

Chapters include:

• Man in War
• Man at Work
• 





Man in Play Competition and Leisure





•

The Glass Castle: A Memoir (Alex Awards (Awards))

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning they lived like nomads moving among Southwest desert towns camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic brilliant man who when sober captured his children's imagination teaching them physics geology and above all how to embrace life fearlessly. Rose Mary who painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family called herself an "excitement addict." Cooking a meal that would be consumed in fifteen minutes had no appeal when she could make a painting that might last forever.

Later when the money ran out or the romance of the wandering life faded the Walls retreated to the dismal West Virginia mining town -- and the family -- Rex Walls had done everything he could to escape. He drank. He stole the grocery money and disappeared for days. As the dysfunction of the family escalated Jeannette and her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves supporting one another as they weathered their parents' betrayals and finally found the resources and will to leave home.

What is so astonishing about Jeannette Walls is not just that she had the guts and tenacity and intelligence to get out but that she describes her parents with such deep affection and generosity. Hers is a story of triumph against all odds but also a tender moving tale of unconditional love in a family that despite its profound flaws gave her the fiery determination to carve out a successful life on her own terms.

For two decades Jeannette Walls hid her roots. Now she tells her own story. A regular contributor to MSNBC.com she lives in New York and Long Island and is married to the writer John Taylor.
