     Voting is now closed for the NPR Summer Reader Poll: (Funny Books.) Here are the ones I submitted:
   Spending the Holidays with People I Want to Punch in the Throat: Yuletide Yahoos, Ho-Ho-Humblebraggers, and Other Seasonal Scourges
Thursday Night Confessions...
A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
   When My Love Returns from the Ladies Room, Will I Be Too Old to Care?(basically any Lewis Grizzard book) and
   Queen of the Turtle Derby and Other Southern Phenomena by Julia Reed
     These books will not only make you laugh out loud but some will make you cry while you're laughing. Not ever done that before; well everybody needs a good belly laugh by either getting one or more of these books for yourself or a friend or by watching a good comedy show! I think reading is much better. Don't you?

"A good laugh heals a lot of hurts." Madeleine L'Engle
"Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand." Mark Twain
