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 than 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. --from the Introduction Actual reader feedback: "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."

Download or read book Uncle Max written by Chris Kenry and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet fourteen-year-old Dillon: a self-described nerdy band fag in too-small clothes accessorized by a clarinet case and orthodontic headgear with a robin’s egg–blue satin strap. Fresh from the rigors of junior high school gym class and daily torment by studly jock Aaron Lewis, Dillon is in desperate need of a three-month reprieve. Alas, that isn’t to be—not after Dillon’s mother, Lana, stumbles across his stash of empty wine bottles and Sears catalog pages featuring scantily clad male torsos. Unfortunately for Dillon, Lana has recently swapped booze and overflowing cleavage for fervent devotion to the one man who can never leave her, the Lord Jesus Christ, and His earthbound henchman, Wayne Blandings, assistant pastor at the Church of the Divine Redeemer. Alarmed at the diabolical evidence of Dillon’s drunken, perverted nocturnal hobbies, Lana and Wayne conclude that Bible Camp is his only hope. Now on the verge of being shipped off to the Christian barracks, Dillon needs salvation of a different kind. Before you can say hallelujah, Dillon’s personal savior materializes—fabulously shirtless and smoking a French cigarette. Perpetually on the lam, Uncle Max needs a place to hang—and hide—out for a while. But the flamboyant Francophile can’t seem to elude a colorful mini-entourage that includes his parole officer, Meredith; his sexy mountaineer boyfriend, Serge; and fellow con artist and antiques dealer Jane Nguyen. Much to Dillon’s amazement, loathsome Lana isn’t all he has in common with the dashing family black sheep. Sprung from the proverbial closet at last, Dillon finds himself under Max’s supervision for the summer. This entails Hitchcock films, Balzac novels, and a crash course in shoplifting, from which Dillon swiftly graduates to insurance fraud and art heists. Now, as Max and Jane’s devoted sidekick, he’s the third member of the notorious “Balzac Bunch,” who specialize in befriending blue-haired, blue-blooded bridge players—and then relieving them of their priceless antiques. Too quickly, sultry July gives way to steamy August, and the heat is on in more ways than one. Now the cops are closing in, and only two things are certain: that autumn and Max’s departure are imminent—and that for Dillon, nothing will ever be the same again.
Download or read book You ll Grow Out of It written by Jessi Klein and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Emmy award-winning comedy writer Jessi Klein, You'll Grow Out of It hilariously and candidly explores the journey of the 21st-century woman. As both a tomboy and a late bloomer, comedian Jessi Klein grew up feeling more like an outsider than a participant in the rites of modern femininity. In You'll Grow Out of It, Klein offers - through an incisive collection of real-life stories - a relentlessly funny yet poignant take on a variety of topics she has experienced along her strange journey to womanhood and beyond. These include her "transformation from Pippi Longstocking-esque tomboy to are-you-a-lesbian-or-what tom man," attempting to find watchable porn, and identifying the difference between being called "ma'am" and "miss" ("miss sounds like you weigh 99 pounds"). Raw, relatable, and consistently hilarious, You'll Grow Out of It is a one-of-a-kind book by a singular and irresistible comic voice.
