Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer is Much Faster): Life Lessons and Other Ravings from Dave Barry by Dave Barry



This is another entertaining collection of Barry's deceptively simple style of humorous essays. Whether you've ever heard of Dave Barry or not you'll be able to follow along as he takes you by the hand down the traitorous road of life and teaches you how to handle speed bumps along the way such as why David Beckham can ruin a perfectly fine car trip or why when in Brazil, it's really Belgium you ought to hate. If these don't seem particularly interesting then travel with Dave to Russia where we find out that sometimes Mexican food is just not worth the resulting fall out and tea and chocolates await aplenty.

Barry's tongue in check humor hides the fact that though these essays may flirt, all right, French kiss silliness, they are still a fascinating look at the world through the eyes of an everyday joe with the sharpened wit of a genius. When you're reading a Dave Barry book all you want to do is sit down with him, sip a couple of brewskis, and hope that your adult diapers can handle the hilarity about to ensue. Dave Barry is the perfect antidote to a life that constantly has you questioning your sanity. It's nice to know that someone else understands.
