"I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" by Tucker Max

Most of us have heard and possibly even experienced the old saying that fact is stranger than fiction, or that fact can be more exciting than fiction. Well, it is very possible that few people have experienced this phenomenon as well as Tucker Max has, who today writes for his own website. He has had quite the young life as a prominent drunk and fornicator who managed to get himself into bizarre situations, each one more absurd than the last one.

Naturally, Tucker believed that letting such an experience go to waste would be a crying shame and so he decided to share his stories with the rest of the world through the medium of a book appropriately-titled I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.

The book is written fairly simply as Tucker simply recounts the various stories he has had, such as the famous sushi pants story during which he manages to lose his pants during a drinking contest at a sushi restaurant. Naturally, these stories are far more detailed in the book and there are 30 of them in total, and while I will admit that some of them were underwhelming and probably not as funny as they sounded in his head, they still make for a relatively entertaining read.

Do not expect to get any life-changing philosophy from this book; this is just simple and straightforward entertainment as a guy simply tells the story of his life and the moments which marked it. Actually, come to think of it, this book makes the perfect read for when you simply want to relax without having to think too much.

It is even written in a very simple style as each segment of the event is recounted chronologically with a little time indicator next to it, although the accuracy of those time indicators is quite questionable considering the stories told. Anyways, if you like to relax by reading something light, then this is definitely your thing.
