Dave Barry in Cyberspace

Trust Dave Barry, middle-class America's chronicler of the absurdities
and inanities of daily life, to provide the authoritative funnyman's
guide to life with computers. Barry is sometimes insightful, as when
he notes the ridiculous number of keystrokes needed to actually write
something, often hilarious, as in his sendup of technological support
hotlines, and occasionally genuinely indignant. This book is the
perfect gift for anyone who, like many of us, can't live with computers
and can't live without them.


Dave Barry Does Japan

Is this comedic tour of Japan discreet, tasteful, or politically
correct? The answer, thank god, is Naaah! Yet Dave Barry's travelogue
never grows mean-spirited, and he's always ready to laugh at his own
country--and by extension, himself. An example: "I understand that,
even if two Japanese have worked together for many years, neither
would dream of using the other's first name. Whereas Americans are on
a first-name basis immediately, and by the end of the first day have
generally graduated to 'Yo, Butthead!'"


Dave Barry Turns 40

If you're too young for a nursing home yet too old to be a rock star,
if your marriage is as exciting as scraping grass off the lawnmower
blades, then this hilarious book by Pulitzer-Prize-winning columnist
and author is for you. Put on your protective eyewear and take
a probing look inside your increasingly Spam-like body at:
The Midlife (Yawn) Marriage; Wise Financial Planning for Irresponsible
Scum Such as Yourself; Sex After 40 (or, Sex? After 40?), and other
harsh, but amusing realities that leave you laughing, crying and
drooling.
