I Hate Your Guts

This New York Times bestselling author may hate your guts, but you’ll be laughing too hard to care in this blisteringly funny essay collection. What do Steve Martin, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Dr. Phil have in common? Jim Norton hates their guts. And he probably hates yours, too, especially if you’re a New York Yankee, a Starbucks employee, or his high school bully. In thirty-five hilarious essays, New York Times bestselling author and comedian Jim Norton spews bile on the people he loathes but don’t worry, he is equally atrocious to himself. He savages himself for his humiliating days as a white homeboy, his balletlike spins in the outfield during a little league game, and his embarrassingly botched attempt at a celebrity shout-out while taping his new HBO stand-up series. For the legions of devoted fans who know Jim Norton for his raw, sometimes brutal comedy, I Hate Your Guts is what you've been waiting for. But even more important—it’s a great book to read while taking a shit.
