Five sensational reads to give Dad on Father's Day

Part memoir, part “man-ifesto,” this book from Nick Offerman, who portrays Ron Swanson on the TV show Parks and Recreation, will have Dad laughing out loud with funny yet down-to-earth pointers on manly matters. As Offerman reminisces about growing up in small-town America, he dishes up advice on “delicious living,” from the joys of barbecuing to maturing into the best man possible.
