Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living by Nick Offerman

3.0

A pleasant, amusing enough diversion. I am a fan of Offerman's via his stellar, hilarious work on Parks and Recreation, and it was fun to learn more about him and what makes him tick. He does get a little long winded up on his soapbox about a handful of subjects; I do not share his feelings on religion, but was entertained by his views until it felt like that particular section was never going to end. I had no problems with the language, but could have done without the numerous instances of sexual crassness. I found Offerman's insight into showbiz to be particularly fascinating since he was a late bloomer who served quietly as a character actor until he broke out big as Ron Swanson. I was very satisfied with the audiobook, as I think the material would have been far too dry to read from the page and Offerman himself is the perfect reader, plus the added bonus of hearing a performance of "The Rainbow Song."
