Go the f**k to sleep

“Go the fuck to sleep” — a bed time book for adults written by Adam Mansbach— and which went viral before it’s release — has debuted at No.1 on the New York Times best seller list. Mansbach’s work struck a chord with tired parents [caption id=“attachment_26714” align=“alignleft” width=“380” caption=“The cover of ‘Go the f**k to sleep’”]  [/caption] everywhere after he gave a reading of the book in Philadelphia in April. According to the Hollywood reporter, “Exactly one year ago, Go the Fuck to Sleep started as a joking Facebook post by author Adam Mansbach when he could not get his daughter to fall asleep. His friends loved the fake title so much he decided to turn it into a real nursery rhyme-style book with illustrations by his friend Ricardo Cortes. Instead of traditional galleys, Akashic sent a PDF of the book to independent bookstores in February. The PDF went viral, passed from knowing parent to knowing parent, and propelling the book to No. 1 on Amazon’s bestseller list seven months before publication.” And now an audio version of the book read by Samuel L Jackson is going viral on the Internet. Go on and listen - just don’t let your child anywhere near it!
