About this product

Product Information

A brilliantly funny exploration of the twin mysteries of parenthood and families from the Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author of Insane City . In his New York Times bestselling I'll Mature When I'm Dead , Dave Barry embarked on the treacherous seas of adulthood, to hilarious results. What comes next? Parenthood, of course, and families. In uproarious, brand-new pieces, Barry tackles everything from family trips, bat mitzvah parties and dating (he's serious about that title: "When my daughter can legally commence dating-February 24, 2040-I intend to monitor her closely, even if I am deceased") to funeral instructions ("I would like my eulogy to be given by William Shatner"), the differences between male and female friendships, the deeper meaning of Fifty Shades of Grey , and a father's ultimate sacrifice: accompanying his daughter to a Justin Bieber concert ("It turns out that the noise teenaged girls make to express happiness is the same noise they would make if their feet were being gnawed off by badgers"). Let's face it: families not only enrich our lives every day, they drive us completely around the bend. Thank goodness we have Dave Barry as our guide!

Praise for Dave Barry "Despite years of medication, Dave Barry is still the funniest damn writer in the whole country. Let's hope he never grows up." -Carl Hiaasen "Dave Barry is truly the funniest man living in the three-mile 'safe' zone off the shores of America." -Steve Martin "This isn't a book to take on vacation, it is a vacation." -Janet Maslin, The New York Times , on I'll Mature When I'm Dead, Praise for YOU CAN DATE BOYS WHEN YOU'RE FORTY "[A] hilarious collection . . . Barry is particularly sidesplitting when describing his role as the 65-year-old dad of a 13-year-old daughter. His description of taking his teen to a Justin Bieber concert is brilliantly funny . . . Parents and non-parents alike will find plenty of laughs."-- Publishers Weekly "Humorous take on life . . . Barry offers a baby-boomer perspective on a faster-paced life of electronic gadgetry and the Internet and ponders the aging process, including getting mail marketing Medicare and watching Viagra commercials in the company of your children."-- Booklist "[A] wide-ranging collection of funny essays . . . even those who don't have children and have never lived in Miami or searched for a Wi-Fi connection in the Israeli desert will appreciate Barry's lighthearted absurdity."-- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Dave Barry "Dave Barry remains one of the funniest writers alive."-Carl Hiaasen "While reading Dave Barry's Big Trouble, I laughed so loud I fell out of a chair. Luckily, there's a rug, so I didn't hurt myself." -Stephen King, Praise for YOU CAN DATE BOYS WHEN YOU'RE FORTY "If you were on that clichéd desert island and could follow only one sage's advice, it would have to be Dave Barry's."-Janet Maslin, New York Times "[A] hilarious collection . . .
