a nice easy funny read - the author's dad really has his ways with words! the twitter feed is here: http://twitter.com/shitmydadsays
the author himself is damn good too. his words on the release:
"The book came out today. I just went down to the bookstore near me and looked for it, but couldn't find it. Then I asked the clerk "Do you have Shit My Dad Says?" and he goes "I have no idea. Let me look it up. Who wrote it?" Then, it was at that moment, that I realized that I was about to become the hugest douche in the entire world if I said my name and then he found out I wrote it and was looking for my own book, so I just said "not sure." Then he finds it, I go grab it, and I use my credit card to purchase it, not remembering that my NAME IS ON MY FUCKING CREDIT CARD. Guy looks at me and goes "You wrote this?," making the same face a parent makes when they're told their child has been sent home for taking his penis out at school. Silence for a bit, then I answer, "Yes." So, in closing, I'm the biggest loser this guy has probably met in his entire life."

I've been a fan of Justin Halpern's tweets about the outrageously funny random stuff his 73-year old dad, Sam, says for a while, but this book was so much more than I expected. It's not just a collection of the Twitter log that Justin created a year ago, it's a really heartwarming and funny story of the relationship between father and son. Sam is cranky, foul-mouthed, and opinionated, but he's also smart, loving, and not afraid to call it like it is. By the end of this quick read, you can't help but think that Sam Halpern is one of the coolest men on the planet.
