Frazz by Jef Mallett for August 29, 2024

As I said yesterday, maybe not Tolstoy, but mos def a fun read.

Hmmm maybe I missed a good read. I’ll have to look into this…

Maybe, slacker?

I’ve already read several classics today. Frazz, The Argyle Sweater, Brewster Rockit, etc …

More than 20 years ago, I told a friend she should read Hiaasen’s “Sick Puppy.” She was upset with me at first, asking me why I told her she should read this awful book (she is very much an animal lover). I told her to keep reading. She did … and absolutely loved how it developed.

I figured I owed her a good read as she had got me to read John Dunning’s “The Bookman’s Wake.”

What is a “column collection”?

Who the heck is Hiaasen?

I guess Mr. Mallett is a big fan.

So Caulfield didn’t read “Team Rodent”?

(Non-fiction, about how Disney has been disastrous for Florida. Considering the Disney-DeSantis feud, I wonder Hiaasen has since reevaluated. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and all that.)

Slacker crack… love that!!

Never read (or even heard of) Hiaasen, but by strange coincidence, I started watching Bad Monkey recently. Now I need to deep dive on this author.

I am reading a Hiaasen book right now, and loving it. I don’t know how l will find the time to read them all…

Robert E. Zeitner – The same as reading John Steinbeck’s The Log From the Sea of Cortez.

He read Razor Girl?

Hiassen is a genius. Vince Vaughan is great in “Bad Monkey”, currently streaming on AppleTV.

I understand. I’ve been a huge Carl Hiaasen fan for decades!
