Thoughts of an Average Joe - Softcover

In 2009, author Brian Daniels created Joe Wright—a clueless, middle-aged, thick-around-the-middle man who is hopelessly stuck in the twentieth century. Thoughts of an Average Joe is the hilarious ramblings of a man whose commentaries voice the confusion and angst of a simple, old dude trying to make sense of life in the modern world. In this book, Joe expresses his thoughts about the many issues that confuse or annoy him in “I’m Not Ready for the Wireless World,” “Poachers Are Not Hunters,” and “I’m Comfortable in My Old Skin.” You’ll get to know Joe, his beloved northern New England hometown—Smalltown, his fascinating friends and family members, Dan’s Market, Small-Mart, Blake’s Esso Station, and the Smalltown News. He hopes his stories will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart.
