About this title

Synopsis

A lively collection of (88) short, punchy essays, providing food for thought, reasons to chuckle, flashes of nostalgia and - truth to tell - occasional grounds for outrage.

Reviews

Joe presents his views on just about any topic you can imagine, from feminism to leadership to answering machines. Since he admittedly qualifies as a seasoned citizen,' he has been around long enough to accumulate a storehouse of observations. Be forewarned: they're not all politically correct! Can we call Joe Klock the Mark Twain of the 90's? With this book, he's off to a good start. I'm looking forward to his first novel.

What makes this book special is that, while Klock offers humorous and fresh takes on perplexing issues, it is filled with wisdom that lingers long after the reader has enjoyed many good laughs. Each essay is short, two or three pages, a five-minute read, but the poignant messages linger on. One a day is just what the doctor ordered.
