Paddle Your Own Canoe by Nick Offerman

Paddle Your Own Canoe by Nick Offerman

Parks and Recreation actor and Making It co-host Nick Offerman shares his humorous fulminations on life, manliness, meat, and much more in this New York Times bestseller.

Growing a perfect moustache, grilling red meat, wooing a woman--who better to deliver this tutelage than the always charming, always manly Nick Offerman, best known as Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson?  Combining his trademark comic voice and very real expertise in woodworking--he runs his own woodshop--Paddle Your Own Canoe features tales from Offerman's childhood in small-town Minooka, Illinois--"I grew up literally in the middle of a cornfield"--to his theater days in Chicago, beginnings as a carpenter/actor and the hilarious and magnificent seduction of his now-wife Megan Mullally.   It also offers hard-bitten battle strategies in the arenas of manliness, love, style, religion, woodworking, and outdoor recreation, among many other savory entrees.

A mix of amusing anecdotes, opinionated lessons and rants, sprinkled with offbeat gaiety, Paddle Your Own Canoe will not only tickle readers pink but may also rouse them to put down their smart phones, study a few sycamore leaves, and maybe even hand craft (and paddle) their own canoes.

Gumption: Relighting the Flame of Freedom with America's Gutsiest Troublemakers, Paddle Your Own Canoe: One Man's Principles for Delightful Living, and Good Clean Fun: Misadventures in Sawdust at Offerman Woodshop are among Nick Offerman's New York Times bestselling books. He is a woodworker, an actor, and a comedian. Megan Mullally, one of today's most gorgeous and gifted actresses, is his wife. They live with their pups and an astonishing collection of assorted wood clamps in Los Angeles, California.
