About this audiobook
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
