About this time last year I bought a book. I had heard about it before, even read a page or two, but had never been inspired to get it until then. When I got home that day, just in time for lunch, I left the bag containing the book on my kitchen counter and proceeded to eat. After lunch, my stepmom noticed the recognizable logo on the bag as our town's bookstore and reached into it to see what I purchased.
Upon seeing the book, her face converted into one of disgust and she and my father proceeded to lecture me about how deplorable my taste in "literature" was (yes they actually used air quotes). My father even asked me if I had the receipt and made me promise that I'd return it. Being me, I ignored both of them and defiantely placed the book on my bookself. When I finally got around to it I ended up reading the book in one day, laughing hysterically the entire time.
The book was "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" by Tucker Max
It quickly became my obsession du jour. I spent my time researching everything I could about the book and the author. During one of these sessions, I found out he was turning one of his stories into a movie. I was over the moon. I then looked into who the cast was and nearly shattered mirrors with my squeals when I found out Matt Czuchry would be playing Tucker in the movie. Now for those of you who don't know, Matt played Logan Huntzberger on my all time favorite show, Gilmore Girls. My excitement nearly gave me a heart attack.
Now, after more than a year of waiting, the release of the movie is a little more than a month away. I've watched the (just released) trailer more times than I would like to admit, and I have a feeling a 2nd reading of the book is in my near future.
What can I say... I have a thing for Assholes...
