Dave nails the computer age My hero, Dave Barry, does it again. There are probably very few young people today who are uncomfortable with rapidly-unfolding technology----but for those of us who sometimes long for the days when the most complicated piece of equipment on your desk was an adding machine that plugged into the wall, this book is as identifiable as it is hysterical. highly recommended!. LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! Okay, I will confess --- I cannot get enough of Dave Barry. I'm a big fan, always have been. This is a compilation of some of his greatest works. If you only buy one Dave Barry book (I cannot imagine doing that, I had to have everything) -- buy this one. You will have pain in your side from laughing. He is not only humorous, but witty, sarcastic, and just plain brilliant.. Ira Krull said Another Very Funny Read by One of the Very Best, Comedian Editorialists and Funny Book Writers Ever!.

This collection of columns--sure to serve billions and billions--is called Dave Barry Is from Mars and Venus. (Strangely, it isn't a parody of John Gray's series, even though there's nobody better equipped to do one.) Inside you'll find the same genial, absurd fantasies, riffs on clippings that Barry insists he is not making up, and bizarre personal adventures that are his trademark. Two, he's everywhere. Do you like hamburgers? Of course--and you'll like this
One of the funniest writers around launches his latest collection of syndicated-column comedy--the book that answers the question: "Just how "does" Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?".
