Three Books Dad Will Love on Father’s Day by Kathy A. Megyeri readers laughing and reminded of their own father’s words of advice. In this book, Justin records the best, funniest and most outrageous one-liners, but best of all, the book portrays an insightful portrait of a father-son relationship. And who can argue with his dad’s opinions of waterslides: “You go on ahead. I’d rather not be shot out of a tube into a pool filled with a bunch of nine-year-olds’ urine.” Best of all is the book’s last line spoken by Father Sam when he learned this book was being published and told his son Justin, “I’m having trouble wrapping my head around this. I mean, they gave you money to do this? YOU! Amazing!” “Esquire the Rules: A Man’s Guide to Life” by David Granger In 1998, in Esquire’s research library, behind the periodicals index and stacks of old issues, researchers found a leather-bound, hand-calligraphed book with “THE RULES” stamped on the cover. Every month, an Esquire staff member combed the book to copy some of the best and publish them in the magazine. Some were opinions (“The best instrument is the cello.”), some observations (“The dumber the man, the louder he talks.”) and others were moments to be shared. Author David Granger, editor-in-chief of Esquire magazine from 1997 to 2016, collected them in this book as they provided, as he writes, “a way to get through life with humor or by following this advice one rule at a time. A total of 517 of them offer knowledge that comes with manhood.”
