Publisher's Summary:

P. J. O'Rourke, 'the funniest writer in America', harbours a guilty pleasure ever since growing up the son of a car dealer in Ohio, he has been crazy about cars.

In Driving Like Crazy, he reveals in his love for all things vehicular. From a thousand-mile expedition across Mexico, to a trek through Kyrgyzstan in the back of the Soviet army surplus truck, from an alcohol-fuelled weekend in North Carolina, to an eventful journey from Islamabad to Calcutta, and from Buicks to Land Rovers to Harley-Davidson's, P.J. O'Rourke gets behind the wheel to take us on a hell-bending tour of some of the worlds most scenic and most treacherous roads.

Along the way ,he muses on everything from the peculiar joys of NASCAR, to what type of car handles best, to the mind-boggling misdemeanours it is possible to perform in the front (and back) seat.

Spanning over 30 years, and combining O'Rourke's classic journalism with original, previously unpublished pieces, this is P. J. at his gonzo best: it is an inimitably humorous and pleasurable celebration of cars, speed, and the open road. Fasten your seatbelts; you're in for a bumpy ride.

Not even a "guilty pleasure"

PJ O'Rourke is a master of the comic sneer. At his best, he is a terrific deflater of puffed up egos and, he's far smarter than the rabidly right-wing, mid Western rube he pretends to be.

The problem here is that he loves cars and that, at bottom, he's a satirist. There's good stuff here - the opening piece (which appears in several of his other collections) is hilarious, even if he immediately disavows it in a follow up. And I quite enjoyed a piece on NASCAR in its heyday but really after - three separate articles on trips to the Baja peninsula and a real dud of a piece on motorbikes in the seventies, I began to feel that the bottom of the barrel had been reached. PJ might have been having fun behind the wheel but I wasn't enjoying hearing about it much.

I can only assume that the man himself has money troubles and that these explain this poorly edited selection. However, if you want to help out with the alimony or whatever it is, that is bothering the self professed "funniest American writer since Thurber" may I suggest that would be well-wishers might do better with Holidays in Hell, Republican Party Reptile or even Parliament of Whores than this, in which the narrator ends up sounding like the middle aged bar-room bore he has always threatened to become.

Just about the best thing since sliced bread

P J O'Rourke is as genius of comedy and a character who deserves his title as America's greatest living satarist.

Some of the quotes in this book are almost too good. You feel like you're listening to something that comes from someone who is experienced in American culture and life, and who doesn't pussy foot around with small talk, yet has probably the best out look on middle aged life or what you perceive it to be (i'm not middle aged).

The first essay will make you fall over laughing.

Title: Beyond the Barbed Wire

Language: English

Release date: 03-24-10

Publisher: Reality Entertainment

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Beyond the Barbed Wire: An Artists View of the Holocaust is the story of Ben Altman and the miracle of life. As a child, Ben wanted to become a painter, but his life circumstances did not allow that freedom; instead he learned the practical skills of a tailor. During World War II, Ben's first wife and son were captured and taken to Auschwitz. After spending the night together on the streets of a ghetto in Poland, they were separated when Ben left them in the early morning to find work. He never saw them again. Later, Ben was also captured by the Nazis and placed in five different camps around Poland.

Ben survived the camps because his skills were useful to the Nazis. After his camp was freed by the Russians, Ben went on to live in San Francisco and to make his living as a tailor, eventually becoming the official tailor for the San Francisco Opera House.

It was after his retirement that a lifetime of memories poured out of him, and onto his canvases. The images of his dreams and emotions are not only a powerful reminder of a brutal period in his life and in human history, but they are also an inspiration and a reminder that our thoughts create who we are. Featuring commentary and insight by Fred Alan Wolf, best selling author and star of the hit film What the Bleep Do We Know?, Beyond the Barbed Wire is testament of the human will to survive and transcend even the most horrifying and powerless situations, while never losing hope and never losing sight of our dreams.

Members Reviews:

You have to read this book!

The author has a writing style that will challenge you to think...not just about the story that is unfolding before you, but about your own life and how we all have something in common. If you want to read a book that has the potential to change your life for the good, then read this one, over and over if you want, it never gets old. In these days of hearing the psychobabble of self help and get rich quick peddlers, this book will cut to the chase of every person's lack of success, relationship issue, or confusion about life in general. It's that good!

True Miracle!

This is one of those precious stories that one must read and retain among their valuable books. The bravery as the author going back in time, where nobody would want to, to recollect the most horrific event of her life is truly remarkable. With blunt honesty she describes how she lived her life in religious hypocrisy up to that point. The way she is going through soul searching.... How she finds enlightenment in the miracle and love. Finally, transformation... That eventually heals and strengthen this tormented family is very moving...Beautifully written!

The "bonus section" alone is something that I would recommend to all readers, who ever imagined what would it be like if we could place our questions directly front of our creator.

Read on....A Miracle of Love

Lion's Head, Four Happiness

This might appeal to you if you like cooking, particularly Chinese or Mongolian cooking - but I found it was just too much about food to capture my interest.
