Status Updates From Fish Whistle: Little Short ...

I really like his essays about his life or his family as much as his children's stories. I imagine his adult life is an effort to get the things he didn't as a child but makes the rest of us enjoy the trip.

Pinkwater has a bunch of his books free to download and listen on his website but you can leave a donation which I did and you get to listen to the author read which is a pleasure. Here are essays on his life and family.

Humor mixed with poignant words of wisdom till the last drop. A wonderful book.

Just read Gaudeamus Agita. It's one of the jewels tucked away inside this book. It reminds me of the experience I had in the college. The epiphany of leaning. And further makes me believe that Mr. Pinkwater is a great intellect of our time. Had he not been taught a great many things throughout his education, he would have figured everything out by himself.

Still getting a good laugh from this book. Interesting to see that Pinkwater became an animal trainer. Also, many of the stories are more related to each other. Looking a little like chapters.

As I get deeper, I see that some stories are only mildly humorous. Still enjoying it, though. I believe that my childhood was very similar to the authors. Amongst all the pain and suffering, there is happiness. We are also both preoccupied trying to lose weight. It's our lot in life.

Hilarious! Laughing my buttocks off while reading every story. Pinkwater is a YA author, but proves quite admirably that he can write entertaining stories for the kid inside all of us.

Some of these essays have made me laugh out loud.
