Dave Barry Turns 40

This Dave Barry book, titled "Dave Barry Turns 40," was quite funny. I very much enjoyed the booger joke on page 37. Numerous parts, including that part about breakfast cereal, were especially funny! I laughed aloud! Haha!

At the end of the book I was left with the sense that, although I'd just been entertained for an hour and a half, that I'd basically been doing the literary equivalent of shoving peeps up my nose. Peeps the candy, not the slang word for acquaintances.

Dave Barry is exactly as funny here as he was in Dave Barry Turns 40, which means quite a riot! Haha!

You're right, I haven't read this one since I was about 15. How did you know?
