63. Dave Barry Does Japan, by Dave Barry

This is Dave Barry's account of his trip to Japan in 1991 (paid for by Random House). Some of it is funny, but there's more serious stuff here than in most of his writing, especially in the chapter about Hiroshima.


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
