Supreme Courtship (2008)

This book was fucking hilarious.I read Thank You For Smoking a couple years ago, which is probably Buckley's best known book. It was pretty funny. I happened to see Supreme Courtship at Half Price Books a few weeks ago, along with a shelf full of his other novels that I didn't know existed. I gra...

But Enough About You: Essays (2014)

If you like witty, erudite essays, read this book. Sure, Buckley can sometimes be a bit too Yalie in the naive "but why can't they just eat cake?" mode. But overall, take Kurt Vonnegut essays, add a bit of unapologetic erudition, and you'll find a whole bunch of fun topics to enjoy and chortle ...

No Way to Treat a First Lady (2003)

Written in a pre-9/11 world, No Way to Treat a First Lady is a withering satire of the Clinton administration, in particular the relationship between the "philandering" President whose indiscretions run from the time he was governor all the way to the Lincoln Bedroom and the "substantive" First L...

Wry Martinis (2004)

Wry Martinis by Christopher Buckley (pp. 256)Acclaimed satirist, Christopher Buckley puts together a collection of previously published magazine articles. I’m a fan of Buckley’s fiction novels and his travel non-fiction is top notch. For the first half of book, I found the title of the book to...

Thank You for Smoking (2006)

Check out my other reviews at talesfromideath.blogspot.com This is a book I’ve wanted to read for some time now. I’m a massive fan of Jason Reitman’s film adaptation, starring Aaron Eckhart and knew that if the film’s style was lifted faithfully from the novel that I’d be in for a hell of a re...

Losing Mum and Pup (2009)

Julian Booth (to whom this book is in part dedicated) is the kind, gentle, omnicompetent Briton who had been with my parents almost thirty years as cook and house manager. The nickname “Jules” was bestowed on him by David Niven. Jules nodded through his thick glasses and said quietly, “Yes, Chris...
