Ryan Patricks is a self-described “guy’s guy,” and unlicensed chiropractor. His book, You’re Not Helping… is a collection of short comedy articles that guide you through his delightful, inventive, and often nonsensical take on everything from attention-seeking dolphins to home invasions by the The Barenaked Ladies. You’re Not Helping… blends both humor and heart in what literary critics around the world are describing as “technically a book.” Join the 10s of readers worldwide enchanted by Ryan’s unique brand of wit.
"…Thank you, whoever you are, for buying this book. Of all the things you could have bought, you bought this, and I appreciate that. You may have bought it because you are a good friend, or perhaps you wanted to support amateur comedy writing. Maybe you bought this book because you thought it would be funny (if so, I'm so sorry). Maybe, just maybe, you bought this book because you still owe me ten bucks from when we went to the movies together and I paid for the cab and you were like, "Oh, I'll get the popcorn." ...But did you get the popcorn, Carl? You, in fact, did no such thing. Perhaps you thought I had forgotten about that popcorn years ago, and you are reading this now and just realizing that I did NOT, in fact, forget about the time you basically robbed me blind. Whatever your reason was for buying this book, I thank you! You are super nice, and dare I say, much more physically attractive than the average person."
