I hope they serve beer in hellBy Tucker Max
I don't know why I haven't mentioned this book in previous blogs because this is now the second time I'm reading it in less than a few months. "I hope they serve beer in hell" was on the best seller's list for a few weeks, as it should be. Tucker Max is a genius. My friend Dane told me about this book a few months ago when he sat me down and told me to read a chapter called, "Tucker tries buttsex; hilarity does not ensue". I didn't know what I was getting myself into at first but I trusted that Dane knew my sense of humor as he insisted that I start reading. The first paragraph of the chapter read: "I spent the summer between my 2nd and 3rd year of college suckling on the parental teat in South Florida. It was the absolute prime of my "do anything to get laid" phase. I was recently freed from a 4-year long-distance relationship that began in high school and I wanted nothing more than to have sex with as many girls as possible." My eyes have never moved so fast in my life to read as much as I could to see what was happening next. Indeed, Hilarity did not ensue for Tucker Max, but for myself- I swear I almost had peed myself laughing so hard. I finished the chapter and had to give it back to Dane because he wasn't yet done with the whole book. He said I could borrow it after he was done but I couldn't wait for that bastard to finish. The next morning I was on amazon.com trying to find a copy of the book so I could read more stories by this Tucker Max fellow. A week or two later my copy arrived and I read it straight through in one day. I'd burst out in laughter at every chapter. How couldn't I laugh while reading chapters titled: The Blowjob Follies, Tucker ruptures apendix; hilarity ensues, The famous "Sushi Pants" Story, and Tucker fucks a fat girl; hilarity ensues. He never intended to write a book in the first place. He started out with a few emails to friends about his weekends, which moved to a blog, then a book on the best sellers list. Let me remind you that all of his stories are true. He tells stories that you only wish was happening to you, stories that you wish you were there for, stories you wish you had never heard, or stories that have actually happened to you. Tucker Max was a god to me after reading that book. It's not even that his stories are so absurd to believe they really happened (hell, I believe it) or that he's now working on making his stories come to the big screen with a "I hope they serve beer in hell" movie. No. None of that. It's because I think we all have a little Tucker Max inside ourselves. I know I do. Some people are just to afraid to let hilarity ensue or not ensue...
