Dave Barry visits Google’s Mountain View, CA headquarters to discuss his book “I’ll Mature When I’m Dead: Dave Barry’s Amazing Tales of Adulthood.” This event took place on May 10, 2010, as part of the Authors@Google series. Some people may wonder what this subject has to do with Dave Barry, since Dave’s struggled hard against growing up his entire life-but the result is one of the funniest, warmest, most pitch-perfect books ever on that mystifying territory we call “adulthood”. In hilarious, brand-new pieces, Dave tackles everything from fatherhood, new fatherhood (“Over the next five years, you will spend roughly 45 minutes, total, listening to songs you like, and roughly 127000 hours to songs exploring topics such as how the horn on the bus goes* [*It goes: 'Beep! Beep! Beep!']“), self-image, the battle of the sexes, celebrityhood, technology, parenting styles, certain unmentionable medical procedures (“There is absolutely no reason to be afraid of a vasectomy, except that: THEY CUT A HOLE IN YOUR SCROTUM.”), and much more. It is a book of pure delight from the man one newspaper claimed “could become the most important American humorist since Mark Twain” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)…though, frankly, we think they were indulging in some adult beverages at the time.

Note to whoever at Google did the captions for this: There’s a reference to “Fruit Flies of the Riucu [sic] Islands” during the reading with Michelle. That should be “Ryukyu”, as in the Japanese islands that include Okinawa. Understandable error, given the way Dave treats the name to the typical American mangling of Japanese.
Dear MrParsob,
Try actually reading a book before commenting on a Pulitzer Prize winning author.
I am actually working on a novel just on the hope of going from a respected alternative musician, to an author that wont raise the standards of *his* band.
@MrParsob yeah i agree
This guy is not funny. Mediocre at best.
