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?

I am not going to defend People magazine, but did you really think that
_Dave Barry Does Japan_ was that good?  I was very dissapointed in it
myself -- it was simply not up to Dave's standards, I felt.  I only
laughed at a few things in it, and the whole book had a rather depressing
feeling to it, like Dave didn't really want to write about Japan, but
Random House had already paid him to do it.

I love Dave's writing, but I just don't think that Dave should have done
Japan.

It was in a story in "DB's Greatest Hits" where his father died - where his
last request to Dave was that he'd like some oatmeal.

His mother was (still) alive then, as he mentions coming out of his father's
room where his wife and his mother were waiting.

"The transportation bill had over $5 billion worth of special local projects
and favors attached to it, lamprey-like, by various congresspersons.  But this
is good, because these projects will CREATE JOBS.  See, when the GOVERNMENT
spends money, it creates jobs; whereas when the money is left in the hands of

  Is this really true?  The lyrics are dumb enough that I think I
could believe it, but if it was a joke, I don't think anyone let
Richard Harris in on it.  Didn't he take the song, and his resultant
'singing career' rather seriously?  And Donna Summer certainly didn't
seem to have her tongue anywhere near cheek when she re-recorded it.

  Well, maybe the fact that so many people *have* taken it seriously
allows it to qualify.  I mean, two people have already posted saying
that they played the song in band, for goodness sakes!

would have chosen coloring books
before books with words.  Guess
they didn't like Dave's book because

I thought the chapter on Hiroshima was excellent. It reminded me of the only
two other serious pieces I've seen that Mr. Barry has written. Of course, I
can't remember one of them, but the other was about the death of his father. 

Maybe you were expecting some humor in that chapter. I got the feeling that
he thought it would be distastful to inject humor when talking about that city.
I found what he did write to be very introspective look at the rememberence
Hiroshima observed. Based on what he wrote, I think I would have felt the same
way.

Dave is an excellent writer, and I think he recognizes that there are a few
times where humor is not appropriate. 

But maybe you disliked it for other reasons.

	Two of his extremely funny books, "Dave Barry Slept Here", and "Claw your way
to the top" are both theme books.  It is possible that his readers expect the same sting
of his newer books as compared to his older one.

	On the other hand, I found his book "Dave Barry Talks back" (collection of
articles) only moderately funny.  Of course, opinions vary from person to person.

I think Dave does mention Cher in "Does Japan". It's somewhere near the
beginning, when he is commenting on the poor service we Americans have to
put up with. He says something like "don't get me wrong, I think many
people do routinely get good service, such as the President and Cher."
Maybe this snide comment toward Cher is what got him in the list of worst
books.

It was his mother, not his father that passed away (Dave Barry Turns 40). 
At least in that book he said up front that he'd be serious in that 
chapter.  In the "Japan" book, the only hint of something odd was the fact 
that the Hiroshima chapter was bounded by dark gray pages.

It seems a medical study showed that the tics which spread lyme

Does the Naked Guy (tm) go naked because he's afraid of lyme disease?
