In this little gem (Washington Independent Review of Books), Pulitzer Prizewinning columnist and New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry learns how to age happily from his old but joyful dog, Lucy. As Dave Barry turns seventynot happilyhe realizes that his dog, Lucy, is dealing with old age far better than he is. She has more friends, fewer worries, and way more fun. So Dave decides to figure out how Lucy manages to stay so happy, to see if he can make his own life happier by doing the things she does (except for drinking from the toilet). He reconnects with old friends and tries to make new oneswhich turns out to be a struggle, because Lucy likes people a lot more than he does. And he gets back in touch with two ridiculous but fun groups from his past: the Lawn Rangers, a group of guys who march in parades pushing lawnmowers and twirling brooms (alcohol is involved), and the Rock Bottom Remainders, the worlds oldest and least-talented all-author band. With each new lesson, Dave riffs hilariously on dogs, people, and life in general, while also pondering Deep Questions, such as when its okay to lie. (Answer: when scallops are involved.) Lessons from Lucy shows readers a new side to Dave Barry thats touching and sentimental, but theres still a laugh on every page (Sacramento Bee). The master humorist has written a witty and affable guide to joyous living at any age. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers GOR009931451

�ber diesen Titel

Cr�ticas:

"Lessons from Lucy is extremely funny (in a couple of places I laughed until water ran from my eyes and a slightly thicker fluid came from my nose). You'd expect that from Dave Barry. What you might not expect is how insightful it is, and downright touching. If you've grown old along with Dave, you will want to read this book. You'll also want to read it if you're a dog lover, but that's optional. These are very lively life lessons even for the canine-impaired."
-- Stephen King

"Barry's signature sarcasm and dry wit is on display throughout.... An effortless reading experience for dog lovers and Barry fans alike."
-- Publishers Weekly

"Dog lovers will howl with laughter at humorist Dave Barry's advice book on living your best life by following the examples of his sweet senior rescue dog."
-- Dogster

"An outrageously funny book in which Barry touches on all the things readers have come to love about his unique brand of slightly curmudgeonly, self-deprecating, stream of consciousness humor. Try as you might, however, it is hard to escape the fact that Lessons From Lucy is deep, sweet and downright touching."
-- The Bark

"Astute advice about growing older rolled into a blanket of classic Barry humor... The lessons are filled with the author's signature brand of quirky, sometimes-sarcastic humor... Even for those who are not as enamored by dogs as the author, his gentle wisdom seeps through."
-- Kirkus Reviews

"We couldn't stop laughing."
-- Parade

"Delightful... witty and wise."
-- BookPage

"Barry's anecdotes gave me belly laughs of recognition.... The book is easy to digest, enjoyable to read and good for you (you know what they say about laughter triggering endorphins). Barry's humor knows no borders, and even the canine-ambivalent can give it two paws up."
-- Boomer Magazine

"Thoughtful and highly personal, the reflections of a man who wants to live his life a little better than he has in the past."
-- Deseret News

"Whether it's learning to let go of anger or living in the present, we could all take a page from Lucy."
-- New York Post
