Who's buying the Alphabet of Manliness?
It was number 1 on Amazon for a couple days, but now it has moved to around 80. It's the only book in the top 100 to have not yet been released.
I might be pre-ordering it soon. Anyone else buying the Alphabet of Manliness? |

I'm not going to buy it. I'm just not interested enough in his writing. Some of it it's bloody hilarious though.. no doubt there.

I've thought about it, but I know I'd probably buy it and end up not reading it... I'll wait for somebody to distribute it as an eBook on a torrent.

It would take a brave man to pirate a book by Maddox. In fear of castration among many other possible punishments. >_>
Edit: It's only $15. Is it just me, or is that dirt cheap? |
