Book Description

October 1, 2011
Sick of our spineless twenty-first century, with its fat-free cow milk, electric cars, and websites about spoiled chihuahuas? Wishing you could get what you want, when you want it? Perhaps you dream of trading in that restrictive tie for a liberating loincloth, then setting your office aflame? Ask yourself this: “What Would a Barbarian Do?” With this primitive procedure, great men have altered the course of history (and hilarious B movies) for thousands of years.

Return to the simplicity of yore with this back-to-basics primer on bloody vengeance, furry pants, swordplay, and savage cuisine. Let renowned scholar Dr. Byron Clavicle and bona fide barbarian Grüte Skullbasher teach you how to crush your enemies, settle rent disputes, find a proper name and title that will put you atop the Yor Scale of Name Masculinity, and snare a chain-mail-bikini-wearing Amazon! With just twenty-thousand calories a day and a commitment to pillaging and plundering, you can join the rampaging hordes, negotiating with only your battleax as you destroy civilization!

Features include:

• How to Dress Like a Barbarian!
• The Barbarian Aptitude Test (B.A.T.)!
• Vocational Guidance for the Mighty!
• Barbarian Bible Stories!
• Grüte Skullbasher’s Fashion Makeovers!
• How to make your own barbarian movie!

...and much, much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A funny read..., December 7, 2011
By 
This review is from: Barbarians: A Handbook for Aspiring Savages (Hardcover)
Barbarians: A Handbook for Aspirins Savages was a very funny read. I read it over a couple of weeks on my subway ride home from work, and I got a number of odd looks as a laughed out loud while going through this book. Also, as other commenters noted, there is a nice review of a number of barbarian movies at the end of this book - most of which I never heard of, but I'm looking forward to checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever and funny., October 28, 2011
This review is from: Barbarians: A Handbook for Aspiring Savages (Hardcover)
A clever book following in the same awesome vein as Max Brooks, and his Zombie Survival Guide, Barbarians really works the funny bone. It even has a Barbarian movie section. I have already combed netflix looking for late night guilty pleasure movies.
