A worthy nomination, I'd give it a nod except I'm out of them this month. A bit expensive ($9.99), but better than the $11.99 of a couple of them this month (including one of mine.) A reasonable length, though, at 224 pages. And Dave Barry is definitely funny!

I will second The Worst Class Trip Ever since it is available at both my Overdrive libraries and I have liked the Dave Barry I have read in the past.

This just caught my eye; I knew I read it waaaaay before 1996. In fact, it's 1978, which might make the book's context clearer.

I've read it so I won't nominate it, but if a bunch of you haven't I'd recommend someone nominate 'Bucky F*cking Dent' by David Duchovony. Hilarious.

I'll Third Bucky F*cking Dent. I want to give you guys a chance to enjoy a really good book. I'll probably take the opportunity to read it again myself (after Follet's Column of Fire).

The poll has been posted.
Sorry. I was going by yesterday's Tapatalk feed, and it still hasn't--as of this writing--updated. I'll add the last book and repost it. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 09-27-2017 at 08:01 AM. |
