Publisher Description

Experience a year in the life of a cranky couch potato—also known as “the funniest writer in America” (The Wall Street Journal).
 
Touching on topics from technological change to the United Nations, this is a chronicle of the day-to-day home life and frequent harangues of a New York Times–bestselling humorist. Over the course of the year, in between rants, he does occasionally leave the sofa and embark on exotic adventures—including a blind (drunk) wine tasting with Christopher Buckley, and a Motel 6 where he has twenty-eight channels and a bathroom to himself. As readers of Parliament of Whores, Give War a Chance, and his other bestsellers know, P. J. O’Rourke takes no prisoners—though he may take a few naps.
 
“An entertaining and engaging read.” —Associated Press
 
“A wide-angled worldview from his own living room, his salon of sarcasm. He introduces readers to his assistant, friends, family and smart-aleck babysitter . . . His vitriolic wit is couched in humor that elicits the gamut from giggles to guffaws.” —Publishers Weekly

Mary Ward Taylor ,

P.J. O’Rourke

The author wrote the book 22 years ago when he was 52. He died in February of this year, 2022. Although his obits proclaim him to have been a super nice guy, he came across as sarcastic, mean-spirited and unbendable in his ultra conservative views. At the same time, his wit was sharp and made me laugh. He writes of enjoying those big fat stinky cigars which may have contributed to his dying of lung cancer. I hope to read more of his later writings and his analysis of #45. RIP PJ
