It’s been a good couple weeks for fans of NBC’s “Parks and Recreation”–we are legion here at the Riot–as news broke that two of our favorite cast members are due to publish books. First there was the announcement that Nick Offerman, the mustachioed man who plays meat-loving Ron Swanson, has a forthcoming memoir called….wait for it because it’s awesome….Paddle Your Own Canoe. Then, yesterday we found out that Amy Poehler, who plays my spirit animal and patron saint Leslie Knope, has inked a deal for an “illustrated, non-linear diary.” I don’t know what that is, exactly, but I’mma read the shit out of it no matter what.

How do I feel about Nick Offerman and Leslie Knope writing books? I feel like this:

When I got done flailing, I started imagining other memoirs by Parks & Rec cast members. I mean, I sure hope there’s a lot of Leslie Knope in Leslie Poehler.
