Customer Reviews

Jack Douglas writes like a good friend talks to you

When you read one of Jack Douglas' books it is like a witty friend telling you about his life. He triuimphs over the commonness of everyday with a satirical sense of humor. When I grow-up I want to be Jack Douglas.

For Laughing Out Loud

Just another excellent book in the series from Jack's life. No matter that they're out of print - search everywhere - they're worth it. I began reading Douglas in 1959 at the age of 14. After that, I eagerly awaited each new offering and occassionally managed to catch Douglas on T.V. As I remember them (more or less in the order published and the recommended order for reading): My Brother Was an Only Child, Never Trust a Naked Bus Driver, A Funny Thing Happened on My Way to the Grave (Autobiography), Huckleberry Hashimoto, The Neighbors Are Scaring My Wolf, The Japanese Sex and Cookbook and How to Raise Wolves, Shut Up and Eat Your Snowshoes, Going Nuts in Brazil, Benjamin Franklin Slept Here, and What Do You Hear from Walden Pond. There are probably more, but if you read these one after another, you'll probably need surgery.

An excellent example of Jack Douglas' humor.

I was 12 years old when I read this for the first time (I am now 33). I have recommended this book to lots of friends over the years, and everyone has enjoyed it. Jack Douglas' sense of humor is sarcastic, ironic and, at times, morbid...which, of course, makes for great comedy!
