<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From one of America's favorite comedians and a pillar of the massively popular Blue Collar Comedy franchise, a hilarious memoir about making the jump from small-town Texas to big-time fame and fortune.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>His folksy humor...has made him a hit in the heartland...Don't bet a little plain ol' charm won't work just as well on the rest of the country.--<i>Philadelphia</i><i> Inquirer</i> <p/>For the record, here's the official definition of a guy: A person who doesn't think before he speaks. He can't. He's not that deep. Because a guy has only three basic needs: eating, sleeping, and sex. That's it. <i>Just a Guy</i> chronicles a <i>lifetime</i> in pursuit of those needs. <p/>In this hilarious and heartfelt memoir, Bill Engvall takes you on the rollicking ride of his life, beginning with his childhood in Texas and adolescence in Arizona, becoming a fixture in local emergency rooms, the result of massive amounts of non-thinking behavior trying to impress girls or torture his sisters; to high school in Dallas where he dabbled in an array of truly odd jobs and came of age; to college and his tenure as his fraternity's social chairman, where he masterminded a series of legendary parties; to following his dream as a standup comic and, gulp, singer; to his bumbling and riotous courtship, then marriage to Gail, the love of his life; and, finally, fatherhood, where he remains, to this day, a well-meaning, but flawed parent. <p/>Through it all, Bill gamely stumbles along, struggling to maintain a façade of confidence and control. Far from a superhero, Bill Engvall is an everyday Everyman, the poster boy for normal. The result is just a guy who is disarming, perceptive, wildly funny, and unexpectedly moving. <p/>The sensitive parts of the book...truly stand out.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>Bottom line: if you like Blue Collar TV or are just looking for some good comedy, this is a great book to pick up.--<i>Blogcritics.org</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The sensitive parts of the books...truly stand out." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"If you like Blue Collar TV or are just looking for some good comedy, this is a great book to pick up." --<i>Blogcritics.org</i> <p/>"His folksy humor...has made him a hit in the heartland...Don't bet a little plain ol' charm won't work just as well on the rest of the country." --<i>Philadelphia Inquirer on The Bill Engvall Show</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>BILL ENGVALL is one of America's top-selling comedians.
