Pat Neal has a problem. It's not gambling, drinking, or sex. His addiction comes in the form of the salmon and steelhead that swim in the rainforest rivers of the Olympic Peninsula. As a child, he was diagnosed with a severe case of fishing attention deficit disorder (FADD), a disease that plagues him to this day. Of his fellow fishing enthusiasts, Neal notes:

"People with fishing problems may spend inordinate amounts of time talking about their disease, even if they "do" show up for work. Most anglers are in complete denial over how much they spend on fishing until other members of the...

"Confessions Of a Crabgrass Cowboy" is a tale about coming of age in a fresh and eccentric environment called suburbia. As a personal memoir, the book details the vicissitudes of replacing playground bullies with "Playboy Playmates," while simultaneously preparing daily for the Armageddon we were promised was right around the corner.

"Confessions Of a Crabgrass Cowboy" also chronicles the cultural quirks of the era itself-Dick and Jane, CONELRAD, Charles Atlas, Tupperware(r), X-Ray spectacles, coon skin caps, and anatomically correct dolls are but a handful-that we now so closely and...

"Clutching an armload of baseball mitts and billiard balls, I ran after my brood trying to pick up items that were blocking the aisles. I added a pair of tennis shoes, several baseball caps, the camping silverware and a handful of sweat bands to my cache. Meanwhile, the wiffle balls bounced off my legs, and I shouted formy "wrecking crew" to stop. Finally, they ran into a display and I pounced on them. Unfortunately, I dropped most of my huge armload but I had them.

Suddenly, I became aware of the spectacle we had created. All around, there were people quietly staring at us. Everywhere I...

You will laugh (and cry a little) on your way through this thoroughly enjoyable read. Gloria's book is a compilation of mostly very funny highlights of her life - beginning at age six and capping off with a "tryst" in her eighties. The daughter of "Russian Intelligentsia" parents who emigrated from Kiev and Odessa, she grew up in Chicago with her two screwball older brothers and, after World War II, migrated to Washington, D.C. with her young husband, Herbert Liebenson. Although Gloria's voice is quintessentially American, evoking memories of Erma Bombeck, one is reminded as well, of Fanny...

Originally published as a recurring feature at the McSweeney's website, Richard Grayson's diary wryly chronicles the hopeless 2004 campaign of an emo-loving vegetarian fiction writer, the sole opponent to a right-wing incumbent in Florida's most Republican congressional district. Supporting socialized medicine, abortion rights, gay marriage and immediate withdrawal from Iraq, write-in Democrat Grayson jokes his way through a quixotic campaign to wind the hearts and minds of those North Florida voters who possess hearts and minds.
