This was absolutely hilarious. Dave Barry writes about guys (not men, guys) behaving badly.

79. Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway, by Dave Barry

A history of politics told in the most ridiculous way possible. It points out, quite accurately, that our tax dollars pay for top-of-the-line entertainment in the form of political shenanigans and scandals. This book was written around the time of the Bush/Gore presidential election debacle, which was indeed very entertaining (especially in retrospect).

Just what it says on the cover.

83. Dave Barry's Homes and Other Black Holes, by Dave Barry

84. Dave Barry's Money Secrets, by Dave Barry

85. The Little Engine That Could, by Watty Piper

A little train engine says "I think I can! I think I can!" as it pulls a long over a steep mountain after all the big engines decline to do so. Of course, it succeeds. (There's a fanfic sequel to this story called The Little Engine That Couldn't. Don't read it if you love the original.)


"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.”
