Sh*t My Dad Says
Sh*t My Dad Says is a collection of the hilarious things that author Justin Halpern's extremely blunt father has been telling him his entire life. Started as a Twitter page for some of his friends that knew his dad, he now has over 1.3 million followers. The book, however, is more than just a list of all the funny quotes, each chapter starts with a anecdote from Justin's life that gives you a further glimpse into what it was like growing up with a father that is "the least passive-aggressive human being on the planet."
A couple of my favorite quotes....
On Internet Service
"I don't want it...I understand what it does...Yes, I do. And I don't give a sh*t if all your friends have it. All your friends have dopey f*cking haircuts, too, but you don't see me running to my barber."
On Airport Pickup Duties
"My flight lands at 9:30 on Sunday...You want to watch what? What the f*ck is Mad Men? I'm a mad man if you don't pick me the hell up."
That's just a taste, there's soooo much more, pick it up and check it out. -Kelsey

| Good Times, Bad Times
Good Times, Bad Times: Led Zeppelin captures the public and private lives of rock gods Led Zeppelin through rare and iconic photographs. More than any other band, they embodied the rock-star lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock and roll and came to define the music and culture of the 1970s. Forty years after the release of their first album in 1969, Led Zeppelin-Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham- continues to fascinate and inspire legions of fans, young and old alike.
A general overview of the band's history will introduce the core of the book: a gallery of more than 200 photographs, laid out in chronological order, more than half of which have never been published. Whether onstage, backstage, recording in the studio, on tour, or at home-the band is shown as never before. From their very first performance in Denmark on September 7, 1968 (as the new Yardbirds) to their last performance in London in 2007, this collection of images will remind die-hard fans why the group became, and remains, one of the greatest and most notorious bands in the history of rock and roll.
