From Barnes & Noble"Grammar, sex, camels, women, brain surgery, sex with women, how to become a professional author, airlines, Justin Bieber, and death" is how Dave Barry described the subjects of his new book, but even that hodge-podge lineup renders only an imperfect snapshot of this humor book's weird diversity. Indefatigable as ever, this shrewd humorist has made a career of stumbling into subjects like a visitor from a distant planet. In this case, Fifty Shades of Grey and being the Baby Boomer father of a teenage daughter serve as spurs to hilarious, yet strangely wise riffs. Sometimes laughter is the best parenting therapy.
