Humor and a Little Bit More

Like the late Will Rogers, Taylor uses no fancy props. This book is the sidewalk in front of the drugstore on Main Street, but never inside the pool hall. These simple tales of everyday life are as refreshing as a lemonade in summer or a paddleboat on a quiet river. Everything is grist for the mill, from bumper stickers to childhood tales. Reese does not let himself be tempted by the foibles of Washington, and, at all times, he disdains using the biting edge.
