A Marathon Is Really Long When You Have to Pee is a collection of 20 humor essays from Dustin Brady in which he tells embarrassing stories about himself and shares the important life lessons he learned along the way – lessons on:Traditions – “Every tradition exists to get people to do something they don’t want to do. Like, the only time anyone ever says, ‘Because it’s a tradition!’ is when they’re trying to convince a loved one to spend a day with relatives they don’t like or bring a dead tree into the house or drop $4,000 on red, white and blue explosives or eat candy corn.”Writing – “People describe writing in a state of ‘flow’ where they get lost in their work and the words start pouring onto the page, and they eventually look up at the clock and oh my have four hours gone by already? That seems nice. I can kind of relate because that’s what happens when I start clicking on YouTube street magic videos.”The Apple Store Genius Bar – “The Genius Bar is a lot like Best Buy’s Geek Squad, except they would combust if you ever mentioned this to them. They provide the same helpful advice (‘Did you try turning it off and on?’), have the same favorite phrase (‘I’m sorry, the warranty is expired’) and charge the same prices ($1 million/hour). The only difference is the Genius Bar is sure of two things: they are superior to you, and they are farrrrrr superior to the Geek Squad.”Marathons – “They’re really long when you have to pee.”If you are the type of person who enjoys funny writing, you will probably like this book. If you are the type of person who enjoys commenting on political articles, you will probably not. Proceed accordingly.A quick note: Dustin Brady usually writes fiction books for kids; however, this book is neither fiction, nor is it written for kids. That being said, this book is clean, so it should be fine for kids (but mostly just the ones who enjoy hot takes on time share presentations and home improvement projects).
