Paddle Your Own Canoe

While I do love Parks & Rec, I wouldn't say I'm a superfan. I think Nick Offerman is a good actor, and have enjoyed some podcasts he's been on, so I figured I would see if his writing is any good.

Answer: sort of. I'll be real, I don't think he has a particular talent for narrative humor or compelling story-telling. I also don't love when memoirs blur genre lines into self-help, especially when the advice is around eating red meat and working with wood (I am a vegetarian, and no thank you). However, there were some silly little zingers that made the listen enjoyable. I love the love that Offerman has for his friends, family, and partner. Other than that, I didn't find too much compelling here.
