Dave barry's collection of essays from the 1980's is a mirthful literary tap-dance. Equally as interesting is barry's synposis of popular classics and poems. Barry dedicates this book to mom and dad, who never made me go see santa claus.

There's lots of references to commies which either means barry was extremely paranoid and brainwashed by his government of the time. Or he is retelling the same joke over and over again throughout the book.

The excercises are excellent, well chosen and well explained. It starts with an overview of supplies and setting up the workspace.
