Title: Intelligent, humerous and painless reading
Review: This is the first John McPhee book I ever read -- back when it first came out -- and I still recall it with pleasure. The subject matter is eclectic, the writing so seamless and flowing that you really don't notice that McPhee does write wonderful prose.This is pure pleasure reading -- along the way, you'll learn quite a bit, but McPhee is sneaky. You don't even realize you're being educated.Like E.B. White? Like intelligent, creative essays? You'll like this book, one of my favorite McPhees....
