Dave Barry Is Not Taking this Sitting Down - Dave Barry (CD)
Title: Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down Title: Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down! Author: Dave Barry Genre: Humor Format: CD, 5 CDs, 6 Hrs. Synopsis: Following the bestselling success of Dave's novel, Big Trouble, here is a hilarious new collection of columns from the writer critics have called "the funniest man in America." What's been getting Dave Barry all worked up lately? What can possibly induce him to rise up - yes, actually out of his chair - in indignation? Well, lots of things. For instance . . . The plague of low-flow toilets Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe The parent-misery quotient of school science fairs Pine-sap transfusions for tired Christmas trees The real skinny on the IRS, Donald Trump, the airlines, and so much more. Review: Library Journal Barry fans will enjoy this latest collection of columns from one of America's funniest journalists. The title originates from his rant about low-flow toilets in his notorious "Toilet Police" article. According to the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist (Big Trouble), it wasn't his first choice for a title, which would have been (and I am not making this up) Tuesdays with Harry Potter. Apparently, the publisher's legal department had some problems with that. The title represents Barry's rage not only about toilets but about airline "bistro service" meals, television ads for pharmaceuticals, and the general moral decay confronting America today. Fans will not be disappointed with Barry's forays into proper word usage when he dons his "Mr. Language Person" hat. And they will certainly rally around him on issues concerning the IRS, college dormitories, and Internet millionaires. But the toilet on the cover is really why this book should be in every library's humor collection.
