‘Dave Barry’ s Guide To Life
Adult non-fiction Published by Wings f Books _

| Life isa a complicated business, and it shouldn't be taken too
lightly. What we really need is an instruction manual.toguideus
‘though all the pitfalls of day-to-day living. A carefully researched
_manual filled with wisdom and insight would be nice (but proba: -
bly boring); on the other hand, Dave Barry's Guide To Life has no
" insight whatsoever, nor will you find one tiny scrap of wisdom.
However, it does have some very colourful cartoons, is full of
totally useless information, and pretty well covers all those dis- |
gusting catastrophes that drives you right up the wall. Such as:
¢ how to find, marry and divorce the perfect lifetime mate
a truly sensitive discussion of human sexuality _ co
«how to make a small person in only nine month nd til rain ys
your sanity
© better health and fitness through stove-lifting
+ how to achieve unlimited wealth through lobster repair. .
If you've begun.to feel as though you're living life inside the a
Twilight Zone, this wonderfully funny book will make you feela
whole lot better,
