Be A Man: The Plaid Manifesto
America. The land of opportunity. The birthplace of the Ford truck, Lincoln, Washington, Edison, Babe Ruth and strip malls. We are the land of innovators and pioneers. America has gone from pioneer to pansy. When did we become a douche bag boot camp? What the hell happened? No more! The gauntlet has been thrown down. Be A Man! Discover your inner carnivore and eat a juicy steak straight off the fire. Climb a freak’n mountain. Drive a truck, environment be damned! Enter the wild with only a bow and arrow plus your trusty pocket knife. Understand the importance of giving your progeny a name of simplicity and power. Being a Man also incurs the responsibility of knowing what not to do as a man. Men do not pick out drapes. Men do not play the flute. Nor do men buy potpourri, shop together, or wear pajamas outside the house if at all. Above all else know that plaid is the manliest pattern in fashion. Plaid is not even fashion. It is the manifestation of order in an otherwise chaotic world that needs order. Pick up Be A The Plaid Manifesto to fully appreciate what it means to Be A Man! Your inner pioneer is waiting.

This book was hilarious. Okay, you probably need a bit more than that, but I just wanted it said.
The writing is quick and light, easy to get through and you can probably read it all in one afternoon. A perfect book for when you need a time-out from life’s realities. However, if you offend easily, it might not be for you. There are a million stereotypes that are reinforced for the sake of comedy and many references to the raunchier side of the male character.
I was actually really surprised, though, with the skill the author utilizes on the touchy subjects of politics and religion. I half-expected to be spoon-fed doctrine, but he managed to state his point without getting under my skin. Well done.
So, are you ready to become a man? Does your husband or boyfriend measure up? If you have ever asked those questions, as lightly or as seriously as you like, and if you are open-minded with your humor, then this just might be the perfect book for you.
Fun, fun read.

Hilarious! A total game changer! I had no idea it took so much to be a man! It is understandable though. This really helps to explain why there are so many man-children in the world. These children haven't got the raw nerve much less the balls to be men!
The best part of this book is chapter 5, The List of No No's. Nearly peed myself reading it. I won't spoil it for you, but the title says it all.
Finally I suggest it to anyone who is great need of a laugh. I mean a really gut busting laugh.
