Book Description:
A 100% Fact-free Book
If you're not already acquainted--nay, infatuated--with the works of the man who the New York Times calls "the funniest man in America," you can get cracking right now with this all-time favorite collection of Dave Barry's humor columns. Dave Barry's Bad Habits won't rot your teeth, cause your insurance premiums to go up, or make your kids go cross-eyed if they sit too close to it. It will, however, make you laugh so hard your middle actually moves (the best exercise, and possibly the only kind you'll be interested in after forty). Here, preserved for all time, are Barry's profoundest musings on such topics as how to get kids to stop smoking (eliminate tenth grade), what to do if your car is making loud noises (turn up the radio), and a solution to the battle of the sexes (let the men do housework, say, for the next six thousand years to even things up). Together they serve to expose the little insanities of everyday life and assure us that we're not completely alone in a world gone mad.

Ashley B. (Dave Barry's writing is hilarious and will have you laughing out loud and wanting to read one of the stories to the person next to you!
B. & A. P. from SAHUARITA, AZ wrote on 4/29/2007...A collection of hilarious articles written by humor columnist Dave Barry. This kept me laughing the whole time I read it!
Tim N. from ALBUQUERQUE, NM wrote on 3/2/2007...Dave Barry rocks! Sometimes a friend and I take turn reading his essays out loud. Good fun.
Washington Post humor columnist Dave Barry dedicates this book "To Mom and Dad, who never made me go see Santa Claus." Perhaps he avoided that trauma, but as the book attests, he has encountered other horrors including housework, pet ownership, taxpaying time, child raising, traveling, and gift giving. My favorite is the school section, in which Barry dissects the American educational system, why we don't read (blame Dick and Jane), as well as the sections on culture and health. He may not be making these things up, but they are as hilarious as if he had.
John F. from BROWNSTOWN, PA wrote on 10/15/2006...I really miss Dave Barry's newspaper column. This is a collection of his columns from the early '80's that still make the reader (at least this reader) laugh out loud.
Sally S. from ST SIMONS IS, GA wrote on 9/24/2006...FUNNY!!!
Dave Barry is by far the most entertaining humor writer of all time. This book is a collection of his columns and every one of them is a winner. One of my favorite books of all time. I'm only offering it because I have two of them.
Softcover, funny man who can charm us with nonsense so compelling that it almost makes sense (but not quite).
