365 STUPID POEMS by a depressed housewife by Angela Cavalieri. Amazon.com. dryerliny@starstream.net.
"My mind's in a state of decay. I wonder how it got that way? I put it in the refrigerator and found it rotten six months later. To my chagrin, it happened again: I meant to impart affirmations of heart; but blurt out instead, stuff that fell in, through the hole in my head. These are poems for people who don't like poetry. If you have lost your sense of humor, you may find it in this book, along with some sadness. If the two poems above will not leave you alone, then you may enjoy reading 365 STUPID POEMS. Is it just so much gobbledygook, or can souls touch within a book?"

How Private Peck Put Down the Rebellion by George W. Peck, Foreword by Don Allison. PO Box 101, Bryan, OH 43506. fadedbnr@bright.net. fadedbanner.com
""How Private Peck Put Down the Rebellion: Or the Funny Experiences of a Raw Recruit" By George W. Peck With Foreword by AP & UPI award-winning journalist Don Allison A humorist and politician of the late 19th century -- he was a two-term governor of Wisconsin and mayor of Milwaukee -- George W. Peck served with the Fourth Wisconsin Volunteer Cavalry during the Civil War. He entered the service in late 1863 as an enlisted man, and later was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. He served with the regiment until its muster-out in 1866. Along the lines of Mark Twains Private History of a Campaign that Failed or Wilbur Hinmans Corporal Si Klegg and his Pard, How Private Peck Put Down the Rebellion looks at the humor that soldiers were able to find in their army service. Based loosely on his Civil War service, Pecks writing abounds with tall tales and liberally stretched truths. But Pecks experience as a Civil War soldier is readily apparent, and the book rings true as he shares his thoughts on the fear a soldier faces on the eve of battle, the losses felt by the wars civilians, the impact of illness on a soldiers life, and inflated sense of power that often went to officers heads. ISBN 0-9659201-2-7; Library of Congress Control No. 2002091610; Softcover, 320 pages Photpgraphs, artwork, table of contents. Reprint of an 1887 work by George W. Peck, with new photographs and new foreword by journalist Don Allison that includes biographical information on the author. Price is $18.95. "

"Get ready for the funniest book of the year! The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude written by Davis Aujourd'hui is the first in a series of irreverent and bawdy religious satires that will tickle your funny bone. Sister Mary Olga is a bourbon-swilling, chain-smoking nun who's always getting into trouble with the Reverend Mother, a reformed prostitute. The convent's chef is a gay cowboy. Just watch out for the nasty town busybody named Priscilla Bunhead who is always digging in the dirt. There's plenty of that for her to find on Dinkledorf Drive in the fictional town of Bucksnort, Wisconsin. There's a lot of hanky panky going on there! All of the book's other zany characters are delightfully flawed and the scenarios are outrageous. Yet you will be able to relate to the human foibles discussed by Sister Mary Olga. Sister Mary Olga takes the attitude of "to each one's own." She pokes fun at the conservative religious and social attitudes of the day. Yet the book has an underlying spiritual message; that is to lighten up and not take life so seriously. "

You Are SO 20th Century ... ... if you think bling-bling is the sound of automatic weapon fire in a Batman comic book. ... if Nixon is actually looking better to you these days. ... if you still refer to TV channels as "stations" and to the tuning mechanism as the "dial." ... if you have more photos in albums than on your computer. ... if you think "2001: A Space Odyssey" takes place in the future. A great birthday gift, novelty item, stocking stuffer, or just something for the guest bathroom.
