A Grumpy Man's Guide to Suburbia provides a hilarious perspective on life in the 'burbs. These short essays offer an entertaining look at everyday happenings, like tag sales ("Why would anyone work for fifty hours to make ＄43.25?") or what not to say when your wife comes home from the hairdresser ("You paid ＄25 for THAT?") or how to carve a turkey ("Score: Turkey 1, Herb 0"). The author provides humorous commentary on everything from houseguests to neighbors, from barbecuing to shopping for a spouse, and from marital communications to cleaning out the freezer. If you live in the suburbs or are married this book is a must. "Poor Herb. he suffers so that the rest of us can laugh." - R.J. Marx "Full of truth I send copies of his columns] to my friends." - P.
