Looking Forward to "The Locklear Letters"!
Last summer, my wife and I attended a wedding in Michigan. It was a lovely affair by all accounts, but there is one thing in particular that we will always remember, and that I suspect everyone else in attendance will always remember as well: the toast by the best man. The best man was a rather nondescript looking man in his mid-30s. Even now, I couldn't tell you what he looked like other than ...

The Newest Member of Michael Kun's Cult
As a lifelong baseball fan, I approached this book with some amount of trepidation. Poking fun at baseball can be a dangerous thing. You run the risk of ticking people off or, much worse, just sounding stupid. After reading all of the reviews of Michael Kun's books, most of which seem to be from a growing cult of readers, I figured it was worth a try. And I'm very glad I did. The book isn't ...

Corrections to My Memoirs
Michael Kun

MacAdam Cage, 2007

Stories about the lives we lead and the lives we wish we led. How much of your life is fantasy? That is the question the offbeat characters in this story collection seek to answer. From the hilarious fabrications of the misguided autobiographer in the title story to the unusual encounter of the narrator in The Last Chance Texaco, these are people slowly learning the truth about the world. They are discovering that the line between fantasy ...

Just buy this book already
Have you ever had the pleasure of stumbling upon a great movie or book or album and then had the pleasure of discovering that the creator of such a work has other offerings available to the public? Sort of like randomly catching a David Sedaris short story in a magazine for the first time and then discovering he has enough books out to keep you laughing for days/weeks/months (depending on how ...

Football Uncyclopedia: A Highly Opinionated Myth-Busting Guide to America's Most Popular Game

Addicting recreational read!
In the interest of full disclosure, I bought this book because I know Adam Hoff, one of the authors. $15 is a little bit of an investment, though, so truth be told I bought it more because I always enjoy hearing his unique thoughts on sports and less because of the $0.15 cut he'll receive. That may explain why I bought it, but there is only one way to explain why, exactly 24 hours after ...

You Poor Monster

I Really Love This Book
It is rare when a writer is able to put together a book that works on multiple levels. Mr. Kun has done that with You Poor Monster, which is the best book I have read in many a year. It is insightful, yet entertaining. It makes you question everything you have read, and everything you think you know. I am tempted to say, "I laughed, I cried, it's the feel-good book of the year," but that ...
