It might actually be dangerous (or possible even illegal) to listen to this audio book while driving. The sudden outbursts of laughter could cause you to swerve violently — and, before you know it, you’ll find yourself in the middle of opposing traffic, staring straight into the headlights of an oncoming semi.
Yes. It’s that funny.
In his Complete Guide to Guys, Dave Barry discusses guys. Not men. Guys. The guys who get emotionally attached to football teams. The guys who live surrounded by dirty laundry and empty take-out cartons. The guys who entertain themselves by farting, drinking beer, and blowing up household appliances. This books helps guys better understand their actions — and it helps non-guys understand the guys around them.
This book will give any listener hours of belly laughs, thanks to its funny-because-it’s-true stories. In fact, it’s so funny that — if you listen closely — you’ll even hear narrator John Ritter try to hold back his own case of the giggles.
I thoroughly enjoyed taking this book along on my last road trip (and I’m happy to announce that I made it to my destination without any major accidents), though I recommend reading the book, too. Barry’s use of charts and graphs and parenthetical asides makes it difficult to keep up — and get the full effect.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
