I'd like to invite interested readers to the next gathering of the
Community Book Club on Thursday, June 13, 7:00 p.m. at the Moscow Public
Library. The book to read: Into the Twilight, Endlessly Grousing, by
regional author Patrick McManus. All are welcome. Copies of the book are
available through any of the seven libraries of the Latah County Library
District, or at a discount at Bookpeople. The Community Book Club is
sponsored by the Friends of the Moscow Library.
As summarized on the book jacket: In McManus's world, all steaks should
be chicken-fried, strong coffee is drunk by the light of a campfire, and
fishing trips consist of men acting like boys and boys behaving like the
small animals we've always
assumed they were. And like Mark Twain, Dave Barry, and Garrison Keillor,
McManus writes extremely funny stories of adventure and its consequences.
Into the Twilight, Endlessly Grousing is the tenth hilarious collection of
his adventures, wry observations, and curmudgeonly calls for bigger and
bigger fish stories (don't even think about calling them lies). This time
around, the renowned columnist takes on everything from an Idaho crime wave
to his friend Dolph's atomic-powered huckleberry picker to the uncertain
joys of standing waist-deep in icy water, watching the fish go by.
