pickBooks do not get more fun than this! In response to a drunken bet with his friend Danny Wallace, British comedian Dave Gorman--along with Wallace--traveled the world to meet 58 strangers by the name of Dave Gorman. The result is this hysterical collaboration between the two, a book that is reminiscent of Tony Hawks's Round Ireland With a Fridge.
so-soI've been reading this on my phone on lunch breaks and while I wait for my daughter's bus, which probably hasn't helped. It may be the kind of book you have to read in one or two gulps. The premise is cool - two drunks make a bet about how many people named Dave Gorman they can or cannot meet - but the execution does start to drag a bit. The stage show of the same name would have been hilarious but the book is merely funny in places.
Day16 of #augustofpages and my choice for #authorcollab is Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace. A few years ago, a drunken wager led the former to travel the world seeking out namesakes. I remember really enjoying their shared narration of events! #bookphotochallenge
