Review:
When I was a teenager, we used to have a Sunday morning ritual in my family. I'd drag myself out of bed and head downstairs to have my breakfast (which, according to the clock, usually should have been more like lunch). My father would greet me with the excited words "You have to hear Dave Barry today!" What proceeded was nothing less than a milk-spewing laugh-fest as I tried to eat my soggy cereal while my father read Barry's column aloud to me.
I love "Dave Barry's Greatest Hits" because it lets me relive all that spewed milk and those snarfed Rice Krispies.
If you discovered Barry through his column, this book is a great way to revisit those favorites that you haven't read since they first appeared in the paper. And if you've never read any of Dave Barry's work, then consider yourself warned: Do not attempt to read this book and eat at the same time (unless, of course, the idea of snorting your milk in front of others appeals to you).
--Cassie Nylen, Copy Assistant
A Greatest Hits package to die for, in which the inimitable, Pulitzer-packing humorist applies himself to taxes, toilets, airbags, baseball, beer commercials, and numerous other American artifacts. A typical bit, from a piece on legalized gambling: "Off-Track Betting parlors are the kinds of places where you never see signs that say, 'Thank You for Not Smoking.' The best you could hope for is, 'Thank You for Not Spitting Pieces of Your Cigar on My Neck.'" Happy? There's plenty more where that came from.
