not sure if this doesn't count as it's the Audiobook version, but
Paddle Your Own Canoe-One Man's Guide for Delicious Living, By Nick Offerman
Now I've loved the show
Parks and Recreation ever since I first saw it and my favorite character hands down is Ron Swanson. His deadpan delivery and manly to-the-point of Rooseveltian manliness is something that makes the show really shine and ties it all together.
With this book you have a chance to look at the man behind the mustache, Nick Offerman to find that, well, he and Ron Swanson aren't too different after all. In this book, Nick tells the story of how he grew up in rural Illinois, doing everything from farming to construction to sports(all very manly endeavors) and theater. Wait, did you say theater? Hell yeah I said theater. A good portion of this book is about his time in the Chicago theater scene in his early to late 20s for both Steppenwolf and Defiant Theater, one being arguably the biggest theater company in the country and the other being a company he founded with fellow colleagues that was well known for their daring, unique and at times controversial approach to theater.
At the moment I am at the part where he moves to Los Angeles to persue acting, so I can't really talk about it too much but so far I am enjoying what I'm reading(listening) to.
Along with that you get stories and anecdotes about his life(the chapter of him becoming a born again Christian to get laid is especially hilarious, not only in concept but in the fact that he SUCCEEDS at it), and his own personal pointers for "living deliciously", or living a full and fulfilling life. This includes not only stereotypically manly things such as working with your hands and growing the perfect mustache, but also being good to people and eating a balanced diet(yes, including vegetables and fruit) as well as a very Libertarian view on life, religion, and family. It doesn't come off as preachy though, and manages to give viewpoints on certain topics without forcing them onto you.
While not a book that has laughs every second, this is a pretty nice look at one man's story and a great resource if you want something to motivate you to go out and just go for what you want in life.
