 602
REASONS TO BE PISSED OFF by Paul
Nardizzi. Comedy/rants. 112 pages. Along with being the author of this
hilarious book, Paul Nardizzi is one of Boston’s finest stand-up
comedians (as is Askew Staff writer John Turco). Paul has performed all
over the place in various venues, and has even made a couple of
appearances on The Conan O’Brien Show.
602 Reasons is a collection of funny
thoughts, scenarios, and possibly true life happenings that might just
have you shaking your head if they were to happen to you. Some of the
rants are way, way, way out there, but most of them are simple things that
could easily happen on a daily basis. From fights to ex-girlfriends to
food to self abuse to being drunk, every aspect of life is covered here…
There are two great things
about this book; it’s damn amusing and it’s a nice simple read. I had
to laugh extra hard at a few of the “reasons” because I’ve actually
fallen victim to them. The individual thoughts range from as little as
five word sentences to twenty-five word sentences. To be honest, I read
this book in two sittings. Both being on a Saturday night-late night,
while being fairly hammered. Needless to say I was roaring! Being the
professional I am, I also read different selections from the book right
here at work, sober, to see if I still found 602 amusing. Yes, it still has
me roaring. You need not add alcohol to make this book funny. Check out
this book and head out to see Paul live! – Denis Sheehan
