Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood
by Michael Lewis
An unvarnished look at fatherhood from the perspective of an admittedly old school dad of three struggling to meet the expectations that are part of modern fatherhood.
Lewis can be a real caveman at times and is occasionally quite demeaning to his wife. This is redeemed only partially by the fact that he seems to at least be aware of his own deficiencies? The focus is mostly on his kids though and the only occasionally successful juggling act that goes on with Kids No. 2 and 3.
The book is laugh out loud funny and also slightly concerning and scary in the way that most books that touch on fatherhood are to the currently-but-maybe-not-forever-childless like myself.
Of course it's also short. Like... read it in one evening, margins like a freshman term paper, borrow but don't buy short. But a perfectly serviceable checkout at the library!
