I Hate Your Guts

By Jim Norton

Book Overview

This New York Times bestselling author may hate your guts, but you'll be laughing too hard to care in this blisteringly funny essay collection.What do Steve Martin, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Dr. Phil have in common? Jim Norton hates their guts. And he probably hates yours, too, especially if you're a New York Yankee, a Starbucks employee, or his high school bully. In thirty-five hilarious essays, New York Times bestselling author and comedian Jim Norton spews bile on the people he loathes but don't worry, he is equally atrocious to himself. He savages himself for his humiliating days as a white homeboy, his balletlike spins in the outfield during a little league game, and his embarrassingly botched attempt at a celebrity shout-out while taping his new HBO stand-up series. For the legions of devoted fans who know Jim Norton for his raw, sometimes brutal comedy, I Hate Your Guts is what you've been waiting for. But even more important--it's a great book to read while taking a shit.

The Bee's Knees

'I Hate Your Guts' is hilarious and Benjamin Bornstein is not. Buy the book to learn what that means. Frrrrrrunkis!

I am taken a back by the courage of this man.

As you all know, Mr. James "Literal Jim" Norton is the brave solider who in the face of an impending AIDS related death, has been able to write one of the most moving and influential novels since "To Kill A Mockingbird". You may know James Norton from the hit Cleveland radio program "Maxwell in the Morning" starring Benjamin "Do The Bit" Bornstein, a show heard by more than 50 people in the Ohio area. Mr. Norton will have your sides splitting and your breathe-right strip detaching over and over.

Another Great Book by Jim Norton

I got the book earlier today and I did not put it down until I was finished. First off, the opening about George Carlin was amazing. Jimmy is not only honest about people he hates in this book, but he completely opens himself up about people he admires. You can really see his passion about George Carlin, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Now, going into those he hates. All I can say is "wow". When Jimmy says he doesn't hold back, he doesn't. He is absolutely brutal to everyone from Hillary Clinton to Dr. Phil. Read this book for the comedy and you will also find yourself agreeing with him on a lot of points he makes. Also, I can honestly say this book gave me more laughs then "Happy Endings" did and that is saying a lot seeing that Happy Endings is hilarious.

a watershed event

The world will see the release of this book as a watershed in modern American history, a event that... forever changed American social attitudes. Mr. Norton has broken ground and fundamentally shaken the core of our belief system for the betterment of America and the World. Thank You Mr. Norton...Thank You

Jim Norton is a funny boy.
