Collection of comedic short stories ( ) I have been aquainted with the writing of Patrick McManus for many years, and have always enjoyed it. I picked up a copy of this book the other day, and couldn't put it down. The humor hits so close to home, from home repair (Pouring My Own) and time management (Controlling My Life) to McManus' specialty, outdoor living (Camping In). I recommend this and all of McManus' other works. I have never been disappointed. no reviews | add a review

You don't have to be a hunter or camper to enjoy this collection of hilarious stories by a writer who is often compared to Mark Twain and Garrison Keillor. In fact, the charm of Patrick F. McManus' work is that it provides plenty of reasons for staying indoors, surrounded by friendly appliances. You'll laugh aloud as McManus and his friends, including Rancid and Crazy Eddie, venture into the great outdoors to face formidable foes like truck campers, tackle boxes, and boat engines. Digging into his vast knapsack of anecdotes, McManus offers them as guides for the bumpier trails of life. Although his stories are wacky, McManus never resorts to profanity or crudity, even when he is considering Teenagers from Hell or Strange Meets Matilda Jean. Narrator Norman Dietz perfectly captures the baffled lunacy that characterizes these reminiscences and quests for the sportsman's perfect moment. No library descriptions found. |
