Dave Barry Is from Mars and Venus

Written by Dave Barry

Narrated by Shadoe Stevens

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and failed Wheel of Fortune contestant Dave Barry has questions—lots of them—and sets out to find the answers. If you've ever wondered things such as, “Just how does Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?” or “What makes people want to eat animals they would never consider petting?” then this book is for you.

Barry fans will appreciate this best-of collection of his syndicated columns since those likely went out with the recycled newspapers. And new, uninitiated but soon-to-be fans will discover Dave's wit brings a delicious train of chuckles as Dave explores what it's like to splash around with the U.S. synchronized swim team and relives the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving. Dave Barry proves that one man even in this incredibly complex global society using only his mind and the power of information can make a difference—by having the guts to answer the important questions we all have but don't have the time to answer.
