Summary: What a joy!
Comment: The world can be divided into two groups of people, those who have read Benchley and those who have not. By far, the happiest people are those who fall into the former category.

Robert Benchely was one of the most talented humorists ever to grace the pages of American magazines. His personna was that of a befuddled upper middle class pater familias. He did not take on the great events of the day, this would have been a waste of time given his world view. What he did do was to satirize brilliantly the little inconsistencies of daily life.

This collection of Benchley's essays is a welcomed one including some 72 examples of his wit and whimsy. It is literally impossible to select a favorite from so many good pieces One can select any one of them at random and discover some gem of Benchely's imagination. Although this edition is out of print I urge anyone seeking to experience the wit of Benchley to seek out a copy.
