Publisher Description

After being dumped by his longtime girlfriend, 28-year-old Justin Halpern found himself living at home with his 73-year-old dad. Sam Halpern, who is like Socrates, but angrier, and with worse hair, has never minced words, and when Justin moved back home, he began to record all the ridiculous things his dad said to him:

That woman was sexy...Out of your league? Son, let women figure out why they won't screw you. Don't do it for them.

Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking.

The worst thing you can be is a liar...Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two.

More than a million people now follow Mr. Halpern's philosophical musings on Twitter, and in this book, his son weaves a brilliantly funny, touching coming-of-age memoir around the best of his quotes.

An all-American story that unfolds on the Little League field, in Denny's, during excruciating family road trips, and, most frequently, in the Halperns' kitchen over bowls of Grape-Nuts, Sh-t My Dad Says is a chaotic, hilarious, true portrait of a father-son relationship from a major new comic voice.

"I thought this was just going to be a collection of tweets, so I was surprised that there was actual content. Really funny and touching stories about a dad who seems like kind of a hardass, but genuinely loves his son and I ended up enjoying this much more than I thought I would. "

    " Worth buying! I laughed at every single page. There is no place in this book where you don't laugh, its that hilarious. Full of funny family tales that i'm sure anyone can relate to in some way. Its always nice to hear the funny musings and perspectives of Justin's Dad. "

    " Read this in one afternoon while laying around the pool, drinking rum and cokes at a nearby resort. I have to say, this book was laugh out-loud funny and it wasn't the rum in talking. "

    " This was a quick read that I enjoyed in a non-life-changing way. There are a lot of 'oh snap' moments, though the dad of Sh*t My Dad Says is not bitchy or mean, just really straightforward, which makes him endearing. "

    " I think I was kind of put off by the abundant amount of swearing. I just am not able to believe that someone would actually talk like that, which made the book feel a bit forced. A few parts were laugh out loud funny. "
