Description: A collection of all-new humor essays by Dave Barry, covering topics ranging from having kids to getting a colonoscopy to writing a movie script. And everything in between.
Thoughts: I love Dave Barry. All in all, he's probably the funniest humor writer that I've read, which isn't saying much because anytime I'm in the mood to read humor I pretty much always read Dave Barry. At any rate, I thought this was an absolutely hilarious book. My absolute favorite part was his spoof of Twilight, which was spot on perfect. The only downside of this book was that I was listening to it on the bus, and it was awkward having everyone watch me while I laughed out loud every minute or two. I got over that pretty quickly and just enjoyed the book.
Disclaimer: Dave Barry is relatively clean, but he does have a fondness for bathroom humor. I don't recall many swear words, but there might have been one or two.
