DescriptionPulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry is a pretty amiable guy. But lately, hes been getting a little worked up. What could make a mild-mannered man of words so hot under the collar? Well, a lot of things-like bad public art, Internet millionaires, SUVs, Regis Philbin . . . and even bigger problems, like - The slower-than-deceased-livestock left-lane drivers who apparently believe that the right lane is sacred and must never come in direct contact with tires- The parent-misery quotient of last-minute school science fair projects- Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe- The plague of the low-flow toilets, which is so bad that even in Miami, where you can buy drugs just by opening your front door and yelling Hey I want some crack, you cant even sell your first born to get a normal-flushing toilet Dave Barry is not taking any of this sitting down. Hes going to stand up for the rights of all Americans against ridiculously named specialty -chino coffees and the IRS. Just as soon as he gets the darn toilet flushed.About the AuthorFrom 1983 to 2004, Dave Barry wrote a weekly humor column for The Miami Herald, which in 1988 won a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He is the author of more than thirty books, including such bestsellers as the nonfiction Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster), You Can Date Boys When Youre Forty, and Ill Mature When Im Dead; the novels Big Trouble, Tricky Business, and Insane City; the very successful YA Peter Pan novels (with Ridley Pearson); and his Christmas story The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog. Two of his books--Big Trouble and Dave Barrys Guide to Guys--have been turned into movies. For a while, his life was even a television series, Daves World, but then it was canceled. The series. Not the life. For many years, Dave was also a guitarist with the late, infamous, and strangely unlamented band the Rock Bottom Remainders.
