I Drink for a Reason

This is for people who don't like reading novels, but want to look like you do.

David Cross released a book last year called I Drink for a Reason, which is basically chapters, not chronological, of absurd ramblings, perhaps sometimes having a point, but consistently original thoughts.
David Cross was originally a stand up comedian, and is wha
t can politely be described as "an acquired taste". He started stand up at a young age, but progressed to the small screen in a short-lived series The Ben Stiller Show and then onto his own show Mr Show before becoming more recognisable as the awkward/hilarious character Tobias Funke on Arrested Development.
Tobias Fünke: You're forgetting, Lindsay, that as a psychiatrist, I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first "analrapist".

David Cross has now become a, well, not so much successful, but an author. And his first book does not fail to disappoint, although perhaps is not everyone's ideal read if you don't like reading a book with a chapter in it titled: Involuntary Random Thoughts I've Had Not Always When I Was Pooing But Certainly Sometimes When I Was Pooing.
The book jumps all over the place, discussing his ideas for t-shirts to be sold at Urban Outfitters (eg. "Don't Blame Me, I Voted Jesus" or "Punch Me: I'm Pregnant"), the irony of his dislike toward Urban Outfitters being that I bought his book....... In Urban Outfitters. or his new TV show ideas for FOX, or plots for indie films to be released, and moves onto his pure hate that he holds towards Jim Belushi (Beef With Jim Belushi). David Cross, although perhaps not everyone's ideal Sunday read, would guarantee to make you laugh at least 14 times if you read his book. And if he doesn't, I promise to handwrite him a letter, accusing him of being immoral, arrogant and self-righteous.



Big love,
