books by J. O'Rourke     books:       1964 H.S. Yearbook19 reviews Rugged Land Books, 1974 BACK IN PRINT This book will be republished in fall 2003 with an addendum - where are they now? I can't wait...             Parliament of Whores: A Lone Humorist Attempts to Explain the Entire U.S. Government61 reviews P. J. O'Rourke Grove Press, 2003 Small world I have read this book and I am amazed by two things. It seems that although quite a lot of time has passed since it was first published -- not much changed. Additionally, being a Pole living in Poland I can compare the "rules" that apply to both the US and Polish authorities and it seems that they do not differ much. So although the author describes specific situation, I am afraid it the ...             Internal Medicine (Internal Medicine (Stein))2 reviews Jay H. Stein, John H. Klippel, ... Mosby, 1998 The first truly comprehensive medical textbook I've seen. I first came across this book last year when I was feverishly studying for my 4th year medical exams. What really excited me was that I could look things up in the index and actually find a paragraph or two explaining my query, no matter how obscure the reference. Textbooks like Harrisons baffle me; why would I want to spend 45 minutes looking at the ten different times my word has been mentioned ...             Experiments in Human Nature3 reviews Monica, J. O'Rourke Two Backed Books, 2008 Monica J. O'Rourke: Super Genius I read "Suffer the Flesh" and "Poisoning Eros" and the ONLY complaint I had about these books is that when i was done reading, I wanted MORE!!!!!! Well, as usual, Monica has delivered!!!!!! I'm already a fan so I was familiar with a few of the stories in "Experiments..." - those stories, along with the others that were new to me, comprised what I think is a perfect read. Monica can write a story ...             A Basic Course in American Sign Language38 reviews Tom Humphries, Carol Padden, ... T.J. Publishers, 1981 BEST BEGINNING ASL BOOK EVER! A Basic Course. . .also called the ABC book, is by far the best book for beginners! It is American Sign Language. . not English. It's pictures of signs are some of the best out there & it teaches you ASL structure from the very beginning. . so you don't pick up bad habits of using ASL signs in English word structure! Don't buy ASL dictionaries. . .until you have finished this book & understand ...             Holidays in Hell34 reviews P. J O'Rourke Picador, 2002 Now you know where Borat got his storyline! I know this book goes back to when Reagan was president and the commies were one-upping one another in Siberia, but "Holidays in Hell," now more than ever, is still a freaking hysterical book! I remember reading it after I got hooked on O'Rourke in college. I had to put the book away for the weekend, because I'd be sitting in British Lit and remember something O'Rourke said, then I'd start ...             Jesus the Devine Teacher: Five New Decades of the Rosary1 review Edward J. O'Rourke Liguori Publications, 1995 New mysteries of the rosary to refresh and renew your prayer Is your prayer life getting boring? Did you once love the rosary, but have you stopped praying because you've said the rosary so often that you are no longer praying, just reciting, and no longer meditating on the mysteries at all? If you have found boredom drying up your prayer life, you might want to consider this little book. Bishop Edward J. O'Rourke, retired bishop of Peoria, Ill., ...             The Test2 reviews R. J. O'Rourke Authorhouse, 2002 WHAT A SURPRISE I THOUGHT THE TEST WOULD BE A GOLF STORY, WHICH IT IS, BUT IT IS ALSO AN OUTSTANDING WAR STORY. I RATE THE BOOK HIGHLY, BECAUSE IT BLENDS THE TWO STORY LINES INTO A COMPLETELY SATISFYING TALE FILLED WITH SUSPENSE AND WELL-DEVELOPED CHARACTERS. IT IS A MAN'S BOOK TO BE ENJOYED FOR ITS TWISTS AND TURNS, EXCEPTIONAL DIALOGUE, AND FAST-PACED ACTION.             All The Trouble In The World37 reviews P J O'Rourke Vintage Canada, 1995 Humor and logic... two great tastes that taste great together. Even those who disagree with P.J. O'Rourke's conclusions will usually tell you that his manner of expressing those conclusions is highly entertaining. O'Rourke's dry wit and bizarely appropriate analogies are absolutely hysterical. I listened to this book at the gym and had several of those "weird guy laughing at nothing" moments that can make you an outcast in a hurry. But besides being ...             The Bachelor Home Companion: A Practical Guide to Keeping House Like a Pig21 reviews Atlantic Monthly Press, 1987 The Bachelor Home Companion The Bachelor Home Companion: A Practical Guide to Keeping House Like A Pig written by P.J. O'Rourke is a very funny, keep you in stiches book. You'll never keep a house neat and tidy after you read this book. Of Course, that's assuming that you already do. What its like as a bachelor in theory as to actually being one is, according to O'Rourke, a great disparity. If you want to laugh and ...             Give War a Chance24 reviews P.J. O'Rourke Vintage, 1993 A Sober Perspective Having been in many parts of the world which O'Rourke describes, I find his conclusions very accurate and worthy of reading over and over. He has been to these places, participated in their activities, and spoken to individuals from opposing sides. He is funny (though sometimes too vulgar for some people's taste) and his humor is not bitter. Though the reader may be unfamiliar with some of the ...             A Basic Course in Manual Communication2 reviews Terrence J. O'Rourke NAD, 1980 The sign book that clarifies The great thing about this book is that it is organized into signs that are similar looking to each other. This helps one to learn the subtle differences between signs.             Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up23 reviews Dave Barry Pan Books, 1995 comedy at its best I have read nearly all of Dave's books, and it never ceases to amaze me that he can be hilarious on each and every occasion. He doesn't duplicate any annecdotes, he simply uses his comic genius to make up new ones.. you will never be bored with Dave's ability to make you rush to the toilet to save wetting the floor, or laughing so hard you feel sick, and the back of your head hurts. This book is ...             Road Trips, Head Trips, and Other Car-Crazed Writings2 reviews Atlantic Monthly Press, 1998 Road Trips Rocks This book is a well compiled anthology of porbably the best Automotive writings anywhere. Try it! Also...if you like this you should read her monthly column in Automobile Magazine.             A Million Is Not Enough: How to Retire with the Money You'll Need9 reviews Michael Farr Springboard Press, 2008 Still hope for everyone-no usual assumptions about financial situation Michael Farr has written a great book for retirement investment while making none of the usual assumptions about the financial situation of the reader. His advice and outlook is geared to anyone interested in securing their finances with a solid base and whether you start at 20 or 65 or you have or have not already made your first million he encourages you with the idea that it's not too late(or ...             National Lampoon 1964 High School Yearbook7 reviews P.J. O'Rourke Rugged Land, 2005 Great blast from the past! Ah, the good old days when 'National Lampoon' magazine was funny. Plus, this yearbook was the origin of the Lampoon's classic movie "Animal House", with the first appearance of Larry 'Lance' Kroeger. Lots of fun!             National Lampoon's Sunday Newspaper Parody8 reviews P. J. O'Rourke, John Hughes Rugged Land, 2004 Back in Print! The Funniest Parody Ever! This is my favorite kind of humor. It looks like a local newspaper, divided into the usual sections. It reads like a local newspaper. But it's insanity sliced and diced in every possible way. The more you read, the more you'll find. Here's an advertisement from a local barber shop; look closely and you'll notice the special service is free ear and nose trim for senior citizens. There's an article ...             Give War a Chance6 reviews P J O'Rourke Random House Value Publishing, 1996 I laughed out loud! This book is insightful, witty, and hilarious. O'Rourke certainly has a biased point of view and glosses over any argument that would say he's wrong (while insulting his opponents, often personally and unfairly), but he makes a strong case for war, capitalism, and freedom. Some of his comments during the 1991 Gulf War regarding the differences between Sunni and Shiite Muslims seem out of date ...             Age and Guile Beat Youth, Innocence and a Bad Haircut13 reviews P.J. O'Rourke Recorded Books, 1997 Politics, stories, and concrete poetry -- best of everything PJ O'Rourke has always been one of my favorite cultural and political commentators. An unrepentant Libertarian Republican who used to be an unrepentant Marxist radical, O'Rourke is a conservative who writes with all the wit and verve that, supposedly, only liberals are capable of. P.J. O'Rourke is the Al Franken of the American Right, if Al Franken were actually funny. Age and Guile Beat ...             Parliament of Whores2 reviews P. J. O'Rourke Blackstone Audiobooks, 1991 Excellent insight, Hard hitting humor, and Regretably true This is a great read. As usual O'Rouke's witty humour does not let you down as he explains the government. He takes a dry mudane subject and injects it with humor and insight while making it once agian cool to be conservative.              search for books american, attempts, bachelor, car-crazed, communication, companion, crazed, decades, experiments, explain, government, haircut, holidays, humorist, innocence, internal, keeping, lampoon, language, medicine, million, national, newspaper, parliament, practical, retire, teacher, trouble, writings, yearbook books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
