I mean, what's so odd about bowing to someone over the phone?

I saw that advertised just yesterday (Kobo, maybe). He is funny.

It sounds like you might enjoy discussing it with him in P&R. (Hint, hint.)

The really amazing thing is is that he's able to be so accurate about what he is describing, and still be so incredibly funny! I'm 3/4 through the book and have experience almost everything he talks about. When I tried to relate these episodes to friends and family they couldn't internalize just how bizarre it is. Dave Barry is able to make it come alive!

Just downloaded a sample for my TBR list. Thanks for that. It's been quite a while since I read any of his stuff.

Glad to find out that Dave Berry and I have something in common. He learned how to say BEER for his trip to Japan and I learned how to say BEER for a trip to Germany. Cheers!

Not really. Just pointing out how demonic Coulter and her cronies are.

I've discovered a marvelous new side to an author I've known only as a writer of WW II spy novels. Manning Coles, who wrote a series of Tommy Hambledon spy novels in the 1940's & 1950's, also wrote ghost stories! Madcap, Wodehousian ghost stories, in which 2 members of the Latimer family are allowed to "return" (along with their claret-drinking pet monkey Ulysses) whenever a living family member is threatened. Sparkling dialogue, improbable plots, and lots of comedy!

Unfortunately they are only available AFAIK as pbooks published by Rue Morgue press.

I'm currently reading "Come and Go."
On this recommendation, I got Happy Returns from the library, mistakenly thinking it was the first of the three; it's the second. I took it with me to lunch today anyway to see if I liked the writing, which I did quite a lot! I'm going to put it aside, and get the first one Brief Candles on Monday, read that one for the backstory, and then return to this one. Come and Go is the third (final) story.

No funnier than having to put your specs on so you can hear people on the phone

I've visited Japan a couple of times and it took me a couple of weeks after I got home each time to stop bowing to people!

Next: F&SF Magazine, December 2002 by Spilogate Authors

But let's give the last issue of 2002 a go as well.
