With all of the drinking, TV watching, and video game playing we do, it’s hard to find time to read. So when we do, it’s important to make it count. Sometimes we’re in search of useless factoids, irreverent humor, de-stressing techniques, parenting tips written in a voice that doesn’t sound like a pedantic grade school teacher, or tips on building muscles from a tatted up dude with ripped muscles. Any of these seven books fit that bill.
