Kerplunk!”
Patrick McManus’ collection of short stories describes, with self depricating humor, how I imagined many boys grew up in the 50’s and 60’s:
Huntin’, fishin’ and living moments that later become tall, tall tales.

The Book of General Ignorance
A fun read full of trivia snippets, it’s written by John Lloyd and John
Mitchinson and challenges many well know cultural “facts”. While it is
classified as nonfiction, the authors do not cite their sources. This leads
me to the question the veracity of the book’s factual content. Whether true
or not, the authors entertain and amuse.
