They are funny in parts, but leave me feeling sad about life. Not a good feeling. I much prefered his small book on Washington DC travels. Much more upbeat. I also much prefer his Dad's "Nearer my God..". It was on the par of Sinclair's "Mere Christianity" I saw William Buclkey in early 70's at University of Pittsburgh. What a fine positive person for us young people at a time of crazy, destructive social unrest. The crowd gave him much appause. He came with us to the forum in a scrunched coat, his hair blowing in the cold night breeze, cluching papers and books with that charateristic grin. I have read all of Chrisopher Buckley's books.
