4.0 out of 5 stars Dave Barry is a funny guy..., February 14, 2007

I was disappointed when I learned that Dave Barry would no longer be publishing his weekly column, and it's now been a long time since I've had an opportunity to enjoy his work. When I saw this calendar at Borders for $1, I couldn't resist.

Thankfully enough, I haven't been disappointed. I sat down and read the first few days in the bookstore, and I laughed at several of them out-loud, to the extent that several people stared at me. Having now read the first month and a half, there is some good stuff (though there are also some clunkers).

Of course, the daily calendar format doesn't do justice to Barry's writing because one of his strengths is running jokes throughout an entire column or book, and a calendar blurb doesn't provide enough text for such an approach. Nonetheless, it's good stuff and quite humorous.

If you're unacquainted with Dave Barry, this would be a great place to start. And for Dave Barry fans, I'd recommend this calendar as a way to reexperience his wonderful sense of humor.

Once I heard that Dave bases his self-esteem from his Amazon rating I knew I had to have this calendar. I gain self-esteem by raising that of Pulitzer Prize winning authors. How lucky is that.

I do enjoy starting the day with Dave's thoughts and observations that many of us also have but would not say out load because of that restraining order.

I love Dave Barry and I try to get my hands on anything that has his "pearls".
