The Bridge to Never Land (2011)

The Bridge to Never Land is by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It is book five of the Peter Pan and the Starcatchers’ series. Unlike the others, it takes place in America as well as London and Neverland. It lacks an edge that the others had; but it is still a fantastic book. I highly recommen...

Insane City (2013)

My second real venture into the world of audio books (The Harry Potter books don't count because I had already read them). We will see how it goes. Again, I don't want something too heavy or thought provoking, but I still have to like it enough to not get bored and keep going... Just some basic, ...

I'll Mature When I'm Dead: Dave Barry's Amazing Tales of Adulthood (2010)

Very entertaining. Dave Barry has a form of humor that is not common anymore in our society. I found myself laughing out loud while I waited at the mechanic's reading "I'll Mature When I'm Dead". The chapters I didn't enjoy as much were the 24 parody and the Twilight parody, though to be fair ...

Peter and the Sword of Mercy (2000)

Book

Science Fair (2008)

Dave Barry is a comic genius, and this book, written together with the co-author of Peter and the Shadow Thieves, is a laugh-out-loud masterpiece. It all centers around a science fair in a middle school where the rich, spoiled-rotten kids who always get their way, normally win the prize. This t...

Bridge to Neverland (2000)

Number five in the Peter Pan books. But not as compelling as the others. I have read the other books and just loved them! I thought this was great too.

Dospěju až umřu (2010)

Pohoda, smích, zábava. Oddech. Pretty funny, esp. marriage/parenting stuff. Have to support a Haverfordian, too! :)

Miami Weiss (2013)

I've loved Dave Barry for a long time and read a ton of his work, including the Starcatchers/Peter Pan series. As a teenager, I went straight to his articles in the newspaper, and I received books of his work for Christmas-not many teens would do that! I snatched this up at the library and read i...

You Can Date Boys When You Are Forty (2000)

Picked this up because I thought it would be funny. I had read his articles in the past which were mildly smirkable but this is not funny. I think it feels dated even though it is new. His observations or stories sound like jokes from the 1980s or 90s which might have been his prime. Comedy can b...

You Can Date Boys When You're Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About (2014)

I'd never read Dave Barry except for an except on a medical procedure that made my flesh crawl but I'd heard that he is funny. I picked this book on tape between fiction choices and it was hilarious. Barry makes light of Justin Bieber, Male/Female differences, Fifty Shades of Gray and Viagra comm...

Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States (1997)

http://iandbooks.wordpress.com/This is one of the craziest books I have ever read. Dave Barry is an American author and satirist. His humor and satire is really over the top. If he gets after somebody then God help that person or country. I have read some of his books earlier but “Dave Barry Slep...

Dave Barry's Money Secrets: Like: Why Is There a Giant Eyeball on the Dollar? (2006)

Dave Barry’s Money Secrets is like a Fantasyland ride through all the stuff that bugs us most in the real world: finances, the economy, work and the corporate environment, sending kids to college, marital arguments, dubious infomercials, buying a car and retirement. Celebrity value is added with ...

Dave Barry's Complete Guide to Guys (2000)

It has been awhile since I read this, but I recall it being sooo funny. I think this is my favorite passage:Let's say a guy named Roger is attracted to a woman named Elaine. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and ag...

Dave Barry's Guide to Marriage and/or Sex (2000)

No book can guarantee you a long and happy relationship, even if the author didn't know about your secret hygiene problem. But the cover of a book is no place to discuss that. In Dave Barry's Guide to Marriage and/or Sex, one of America's most beloved writers turns his keen, if somewhat rheumy, e...

Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs (2000)

When funnyman Dave Barry asked readers about their least favorite tunes, he thought he was penning just another installment of his weekly syndicated humor column. But the witty writer was flabbergasted by the response when over 10,000 readers voted. "I have never written a column that got a bigge...

Tricky Business (2003)

It’s warped. It pokes outrageous fun at the stupidity in all of us—especially the ‘us’ who live in Florida (not me—those other people), and it uses adult language like I hear it used in the street all the time. It also has all the good stuff we like in a novel: murder, sex, drugs, violence, hijac...

Dave Barry's Only Travel Guide You'll Ever Need (1999)

Barry is like a male Erma Bombeck. He discuss the pains and complexities of a 'married with children' lifestyle. While Barry is not hilarious, he is funny in a dark-humor kind of way, which is my favorite kind of humor. He also reminds me of a Ray Romano-type comic.Honestly, though, Barry's hu...

Homes and Other Black Holes (1995)

Honestly, it is almost like shooting fish in a barrel to write a humor book about the process of selling your home, buying a new one, and moving. It's a process rife with annoyances and such annoyances are a great basis for humor.That said, this book is very brief. It has some funny, laugh out lo...

The Hypochondriac's Guide to Life. And Death. (2001)

Really funny, until the book started going on about how fibromyalgia suffers were just "sissies" who faked a disease because they feel a little "icky-doody." Maybe talk to someone who actually has the disease instead of mocking the support group that wouldn't let you sit in because they're sensit...

The Worst Class Trip Ever

Up ahead we could see the Capitol and a bunch of other Washington-y stuff. Mr. Barto got on the bus P.A. microphone and started pointing out historic things, but since he’s Mr. Barto he kept getting them wrong. Like he’d say, “Over here to the left you can see the Lincoln Memorial,” and Miss Rect...

I'll Mature When I'm Dead

This time was called “the 1950s.” I was a child then, and it was horrible. There were only three TV channels, and at any given moment at least two of them were showing men playing the accordion in black and white. There was no remote control, so if you wanted to change the channel, you had to yel...

Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down (2011)

The theme of the show was: “Women Who Cannot Correctly Spell Their Own Names.” No, seriously, the theme was: “Superstars of the Diet Wars.” This was a debate among top diet experts, who felt so strongly about the correct way to lose weight that at times they came close to whacking each other over...
