My World - and Welcome to It Audiobook (Unabridged)

" If you haven't read Thurber, you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Another reviewer dinged it for being dated, but for me that is part of its charm. Wonderful short stories and essays with style and wit. Simply delightful. "

" just re-read. still entertaining. fits my sense of humor. may be dull to others. but i totally "get" thurber. "

" Thurber amuses me, in a quiet sort of way. Not doing-a-spit-take-with-my-own-spit sort of way. Just a little upturning on the lips on one side of the mouth. "

" Thurber's brilliant at being Thurber. I always want him to come out on top, and of course he never truly does. He's my favorite example of "hapless." "

" Thurber's insights into life are outrageous. "

" I adore Thurber. Thoroughly enjoyable, always funny, always so right on the money with character development. "

" I liked it the first time I read it as a child. It did not hold up to a re-read, however. It's a bit dated. "

" If you haven't read Thurber, go do it. He is amazing. Far and away, one of the most brilliant literary minds. His short stories are treasures and feel, to me, like burst of liquid sunlight. They are warm and vibrant and speak to you so simply, so honestly, and so filled with wit and humor. "

" It's James Thurber...what more do I need to say? "

" from the mind that brought you walter mitter.. a delightful collection of witty little stories. if you enjoy clever writing and pop culture references that all date back to at least 60 years ago (which i do!) you'll probably like this one. "

" I need to read more Thurber--he's hilarious! His writing is definitely not P.C., but I supposed that's a major part of the charm. This book is a collection of some of his best New Yorker writing. "

" short stories, essays, reflections... some funny, some scary, always reflective... definitey has a thing against women though.... what's really strange is that although written in 1935 these stories/morals/opinions are still with us today - ahead of his time and definitely a good writer. "

" A highly enjoyable classic. "

" Nice collection of little stories; bigger than vignettes but not by much. Entertaining but not spellbinding. Humorous. "
