false 6080458 5 <p><strong><strong>Fatherhood for dummies—a perfectly frank and mercilessly funny account.</strong> </strong> When he became a father, Michael Lewis found himself expected to feel things that he didn’t feel, and to do things that he couldn’t see the point of doing. At first this made him feel guilty, until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing, to feel one way, when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things, then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up.<p /> <p /> Lewis decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children. This book is that record. But it is also something else: maybe the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded from the point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn’t that Lewis is so unusual. It’s that he is so typical. The only wonder is that his wife has allowed him to publish it.<p /></p> 6257148 18 5 2009 Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood total:300|5:33|4:117|3:115|2:28|1:7| 300 1041 519 124 3 8 false false Sat Aug 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 07:58:19 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 11:01:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Feb 15 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 07:43:08 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 15:37:38 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 13:26:48 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 13:27:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 19:00:10 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 20:00:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 15 false false Thu Jun 04 05:23:19 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 05:23:34 -0700 2009 Home Team for anyone as a Father’s Day gift.
