But lately, he’s been getting a little worked up. What could make a mild-mannered man of words so hot under the collar? Well, a lot of things–like bad public art, Internet millionaires, SUVs, Regis Philbin . . . and even bigger problems, like\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• The slower-than-deceased-livestock left-lane drivers who apparently believe that the right lane is sacred and must never come in direct contact with tires\u003cbr\u003e• The parent-misery quotient of last-minute school science fair projects\u003cbr\u003e• Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe\u003cbr\u003e• The plague of the low-flow toilets, which is so bad that even in Miami, where you can buy drugs just by opening your front door and yelling “Hey! I want some crack,” you can’t even sell your first born to get a normal-flushing toilet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDave Barry is not taking any of this sitting down.

He is the author of more than thirty books, including such bestsellers as the nonfiction \u003ci\u003eLive Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYou Can Date Boys When You're Forty\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI'll Mature When I'm Dead\u003c\/i\u003e; the novels \u003ci\u003eBig Trouble\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTricky Business\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eInsane City\u003c\/i\u003e; the very successful YA Peter Pan novels (with Ridley Pearson); and his Christmas story \u003ci\u003eThe Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog\u003c\/i\u003e.

For a while, his life was even a television series, \u003ci\u003eDave's World\u003c\/i\u003e, but then it was canceled. The series. Not the life. For many years, Dave was also a guitarist with the late, infamous, and strangely unlamented band the Rock Bottom Remainders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46552794071201,"sku":"BBSNIJ9780345444103","price":26.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9780345444103.jpg?v=1781716166","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/dave-barry-is-not-taking-this-sitting-down-paperback-by-dave-barry","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
