Dave Barry Turns 50

If he wasn't already the reigning king of American humor writing, Dave Barry has now officially claimed the crown. And not a moment too soon! With this 15-week veteran of the New York Times bestseller list, the Pulitzer Prize winner--dubbed by The New York Times, "the funniest man in America"--adds a new distinction to his list of credits: middle-aged man.

This Dave Barry book, titled "Dave Barry Turns 40," was quite funny. I very much enjoyed the booger joke on page 37. Numerous parts, including that part about breakfast cereal, were especially funny! I laughed aloud! Haha!

At the end of the book I was left with the sense that, although I'd just been entertained for an hour and a half, that I'd basically been doing the literary equivalent of shoving peeps up my nose. Peeps the candy, not the slang word for acquaintances.

Dave Barry is exactly as funny here as he was in Dave Barry Turns 40, which means quite a riot! Haha!

You're right, I haven't read this one since I was about 15. How did you know?
