Audiobook pick: This is my second book from this author and I'm officially a fan. He is just really funny. The good thing about being late to the party in an author's popularity, is he has a lot of books out there. His books seem like they would translate well to movies and they are full of action and snarky/absurd humor.

KathyWheeler I always liked his essays. My favorite was years ago when he did a “bad song” survey, asking people to tell him what they thought were the worst songs ever. He turned that into a really short book: 6mo
EmberIvyRose @KathyWheeler he's definitely a talented writer! 6mo

Playing catch up...
I am posting one book (or two) from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

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! 😄 11mo
Kimberlone Funny the link you shared is from my local city newspaper! 11mo
AnnR Thanks for the link. ? In summary, as Charlie Brown would say, "Good Grief." ? 11mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

After enjoying “Swamp Story” so much, I knew I wanted to try more of Dave Barry‘s work. It‘s wonderful to read books that make you really think and feel, but it‘s equally a gift to read a book that makes you laugh! This didn‘t quite capture the same magic for me as my first read of his, but the Floridian Hangover-esque story was definitely fun and entertaining!

I can always count on Dave Barry‘s books to make me laugh. In this one, a variety of characters converge for the major action on a casino boat which, naturally, goes awry. There‘s a fair amount of violence in this one and Barry‘s signature humor.

Ruthiella I used to read his column in my newspaper many moons ago. He was so funny! 😆 1y
Hooked_on_books @Ruthiella I did the same! I can even remember some specific columns this many years later because they were so good. You should give his books a try if you‘re looking for a good laugh! 1y

A dispute between a ref at a children‘s soccer game and one of the fathers turns into a battle between the two men which rapidly escalates hilariously into utterly ridiculous events that frankly had me laughing almost continuously. My mom says she hasn‘t laughed this much at a book in a long time. We both loved it!

squirrelbrain Sounds like fun - stacked! 2y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
