Dave Barry is a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and author; the author of 30 books, many of them bestsellers; and the lead guitarist in the writer band, Rock Bottom Remainders; but in many ways, his most signature honor was being named Class Clown of the Pleasantville High School Class of 1965. His new I'll Mature When I'm Dead can be read as a sort of Magna Carta of the comic spirit. Or you can regard it as just plain uproariously funny.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, drink anything whil...
When I read Dave Barry I anticipate making a fool of myself through random explosive guffaws. I did so a great many times. Mr. Barry has outdone his Pulitzer-winning newspaper columns in his new "whatever wordcount I want, hah!" freedom. His "Vampire Novel" should be required reading for all aspi...
Dave Barry is a self-proclaimed dork, but he's OUR dork, and we love him. I got plenty of smirks, chuckles, and guffaws from this book, along with some more serious, reflective moments. Eighteen pieces on everything from dance recitals to colonoscopies. I enjoyed every one except "24: The Ultimate ...
