I'm surprized I haven't noticed a thread for literature so I guess I'll start one up.

So recently, I just finished a novel called "The Alphabet of Manliness" by Maddox. The author goes by his website alias, he's become quite popular in North America, and likely other parts of the world through his website, "The Best Page in the Universe".

It's a very humorous novel if you're into his sense of humor, it has a certain immature taste to it. But I find that hilarious. Overall the novel goes through the 26 letters of the alphabet, each letter representing something manly. For instance, J is for Beef Jerky, or N is for Chuck Norris.

I highly suggest it if you're into immature humor, though it might be hard to get overseas unless you're in the UK, you can get it through Amazon I believe.
