Dave Barry's Greatest Hits
Dave Barry's Greatest Hits | Dave Barry
2 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
WHEN DAVE BARRY IS ON THE LOOSE, NO ONE IS SAFE! What Dave Barry did for the men's movement in his Complete Guide to Guys and for foreign relations when he did Japan he now does for . . . everything in America. The rapacious observer of Tupperware ladies and leisure concept salesmen sounds off on: Football--Football is more than just a game. It is a potential opportunity to see a live person lying on the ground with a bone sticking out of his leg, while the fans, to show their appreciation, perform "the wave." Sailing--There's nothing quite like getting out on the open sea, where you can forget about the hassles and worries of life on land, and concentrate on the hassles and worries of life on the sea, such as death by squid. 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 can hope for is, "Thank You for Not Spitting Pieces of Your Cigar on My Neck." "The good news: he's funny as ever. The bad news: the book is only 304 pages." --Los Angeles Daily News From the Paperback edition.

For me, the year cannot truly end without Dave Barry's Year in Review. IMHO, his satire is, as always, spot-on.

If interested, here's a link to read it for free:

Ruthiella I‘ll have to check this out. I used to read his column in the newspaper years ago and found him very funny! 😄 12mo

My go-to funny man is Dave Barry. I've had a grand old time snapping up his older books at library sales. My favourites are Dave Barry Turns 50, Dave Barry in Cyberspace, and Dave Barry is from Mars AND Venus. Mars and Venus includes the famous story of him picking his son up from school in the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile.
