- Pardon me if this was discussed over Winter Break, but I was flipping through
- a People magazine (I don't subscribe I swear! I was just bored!) and they
- had a list of the Worst books of the year, and P.J. O Rourke was in there
- with his book (I don't remember the name) and Dave Barry got a runner-up
- spot with "Dave Barry Does Japan".
-
- I couldn't believe it. I can't vouch for P.J. O'Rouke's book, but Dave's book
- ... well we all know how good it is. It certainly is probably one of the
- BEST books of the year (at least in the humor field). Who makes that list?
- Well, it's People magazine, no one really has an respect for them or their
- opinions anyway.
-
- Incidentally, all the BEST books were books that I've never heard of, and
- sound VERY dry and boring like "A Study of Southern Tibet in the 12th Century"
- or stuff like that.
