Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living
by Nick Offerman
This book is weird--but not as weird as I expected from Mr. Offerman. Okay, it's not all that weird. Mostly it involves autobiography, which is pretty entertaining. I think I was much more intrigued by Offerman's tales of life growing up in the Midwest than in his later stories. Almost the entire second half of the book involves his time in Hollywood and what comes across as nearly obsessive devotion to his wife, Megan Mulally. It's endearing, to be sure, and great to read of someone so enthralled by his wife and their connection--but it gets a bit old. Overall, it's an entertaining book, with just enough humor to keep it afloat. I think people might be disappointed, expecting a more hilarious tome from Mr. Offerman. To be sure, I laughed at loud at several parts...just not as many as I expected to.
