“Let’s talk houses,” Adam Carolla writes in the introduction to his new memoir, Not Taco Bell Material (Crown Archetype, June 12, $25). “As a kid the places I called home were cracked stucco, dirt lawns, and furniture raccoons wouldn’t fuck on. But there’s another way of looking at homes. They are where you create memories with your family, good and bad, and the pad you launch from when you start your own life. . . . This book will be a journey from the plethora of dumps I was raised in, through the shithole apartments I rented in my twenties, to the homes I purchased and personally renovated when I found some success.” And what a series of dumps and shitholes they were. In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks, the former star of The Man Show and current host of The Car Show and The Adam Carolla Show begins each new chapter with a photo and statistics about the house he was living in at that time as he leads readers on a very personal and funny trip down memory lane. He writes about his extremely strange family, toiling in construction, his up-and-down professional career, and the many celebrities he has worked with. He adds “Tan Gent” sidebars along the way that allow for additional rants and raves. Carolla will be celebrating the release of the book with a special presentation, signing, and webinar June 12 at Carolines with Artie Lange that will be broadcast live online to the first ten thousand people who sign up for the free event here. Carolla, who has also starred in the films Ace in the Hole and The Hammer, will follow that up with three nights of stand-up at Carolines June 14-16.
