The Alphabet of Manliness
So, I got Maddox's book in the mail today, and read through the entire thing.
I laughed, I cringed at illustrations of the correct way to punch some guy in the crotch, I felt a bit like a jerk, and I laughed some more. There are chapters on Pirates, Coping a Feel, Lumberjacks, Chuck Norris, Metal (music), Female Wrestling, and much more all organized in glorious alphabetical order, one topic per letter.
My conclusions? This book is sexist, crude, violent, and extremely funny. If you're not the type to get offended by that sort of blatent (satrical) stuff, then for pete's sake go read it. It's hardcover, because so much awesome couldn't be contained in wussy paperback.
The cover looks glorious.
Oh, and I also got the Real Ultimate Power book and "How to Survive a Robot Uprising" which, along with The Zombie Survival Guide, leaves me wholly prepared for whatever life throws at me.

Also this reminds me, I should go pick up "The Five Fists of Science".
