Synopsis

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.""Almost two 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.

Are you any more likely to be injured if I typed "fuck" instead of "f*ck?" There's this really stupid notion that a......more

Well, this was fun! I actually liked I Suck at Girls a tad better, but I think it's because I read that one first. And while Halpern's father is extremely funny, once you hear a few of his zingers the magic wears off a bit. The gist? I think everyone already knows about this book and the Tweets that......more

Goodreads review by Natalie on June 04, 2020

While browsing the library for a book to read (preferably a humorous one at that), I stumbled upon Justin Halpern's Sh*t My Dad Says. I then proceeded to open up the light read on a random page to see if it'd capture my attention... And it succeeded in making me laugh out loud with this one passage:......more

2016 Genre Challenge : Non-Fiction This book was funny, or it had some laugh out loud moments.... But I think I went into expecting something a little different. I guess reading the blurb, I thought it would be about a twenty something guy living with his seventy four year old father and the antics o......more
