About this item
A New York Times Bestselling Author During the course of living (mumble, mumble) years, Dave Barry has learned much wisdom, he is eager to pass it on ? to the next generation, the generation after that, and to those idiots who make driving to the grocery store in Florida a death-defying experience.In brilliant, brand-new pieces, Dave passes on home truths to his new grandson and his teenaged daughter Sophie. He dives into everything from the inanity of cable news and the benefits of Google Glass to the soccer craziness of Brazil and the just plain craziness of Vladimir Putin?s Russia. By the end, if you do not feel wiser, richer in knowledge, more attuned to the universe . . . we wouldn?t be at all surprised. But you?ll have had a lot to laugh about!
About the Author
The New York Times has pronounced Dave Barry "the funniest man in America." But of course that could have been on a slow news day when there wasn't much else fit to print. True, his bestselling collections of columns are legendary, but it is his wholly original books that reveal him as an American icon. Dave Barry Slept Here was his version of American history. Dave Barry Does Japan was a contribution to international peace and understanding from which Japan has not yet fully recovered. Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys is among the best-read volumes in rehab centers and prisons. Raised in a suburb of New York, educated in a suburb of Philadelphia, he lives now in a suburb of Miami. He is not, as he often puts it so poetically, making this up.
