Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch by Jim Norton
I had never heard of Norton, his stand-up was recommended by a friend, but this is definitely a funny collection of barely-essays. It's extremely offensive; in the author's own words, "If it weren't for prostitutes, shit, and fat girls, this book would be eight pages long." But he works hard to find new ways to say dirty things, and I respect that.
