Always fun to read a Dave Barry collection. Listening to it was interesting since Barry only did intros to the sections and not the whole book reading. ( )

Dave Barry is one of the funniest writers I've read. He writes about everything with a serious tone, but it's hysterical. He says he is not making this up. Maybe he is, but who cares when you're rolling on the floor laughing? ( )

This was a couple of dozen of his columns which I've always loved. The perfect length as my sense of humor tends to trip out after a while. I was cutting up a tree that ice storm took partially down in the horses' field while listening to this, so I had to take a few breaks when things got dicey.

(Lots of energy & twisting left in that big, old hackberry. I wish the wood was prettier as it was 16" in diameter & should make some nice bowls, but I'll have to stain them or something. I don't like the gray cast the wood gets.)

This wasn't all humor, though. The last one was about how he felt when his 12 year old got hit by a car while riding his bike. A broken leg & stitches patched the kid up, but he made a great point about how parenthood changes a person.

I can't remember all the subjects he tackled, but they were pretty diverse & a lot of fun. His dating advice for a teenage boy was hilarious. Excellent as an audio book. ( )

Fun. My parents read him a lot when I was a kid. It's silly, but cute. This book has a piece that is a description of Hong Kong before the hand over. Interesting in retrospect. ( )

Learn all about Dave Barrys favorite colums he's ever written. Incuding his dance class, Elvis, and his old rusty boat which i belive is named Earl. I hope he doesn't get lost in the Bermuda Triangle. ( )
