For the Dad Who Has Seen Things: Dad is Fat, by Jim GaffiganRead about the other entries on the list.
Jim Gaffigan and his wife went and had five young children in a two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, and somehow he lived not only to tell the tale, but to sit down and write a book about it. And what a book—Dad is Fat is a hilarious, insightful, and yes, heart-warming look at parenting from the perspective of a comedian and family man who has been in the trenches of childrearing. Best of all, Gaffigan manages to be funny while keeping it clean—and when it comes to experiences we share with parents, keeping things g-rated is always an added bonus. (Remember the time you accidentally took your folks to see Eyes Wide Shut because you thought it was a musical comedy? I rest my case.)
