- Read _Dave Barry Turns 40_ Chapter Title: Your Aging Parents: Getting
- Even with Your For Teething
-
- Read _Dave Barry's Greatest Hits_ Chapter Title: A Million Words
-
- I think you'll see that Dave *is* _very_ capable of writing non-humouous
- articles VERY well.
-
- As for the "Hiroshima" article, I thought it was a good chapter in the
- book. It shows how people tend to forget the importance of such meaningful
- days, as Dave said, "...like Memorial day." I thought _DB Does Japan_
- was very funny. I've purchased and read all of his books, and I've read
- Japan about 4 times already. Some funny things I didn't catch the first
- time, so maybe you should read it again. It really is pretty funny.
-
- So, let's start a contest of our own here on the net...what *IS* Dave's
- BEST article or book, or chapter in a book?
