A Trip to the Hardware Store And Other Calamities (Quirky Essays for Quirky People Book 2) Barbara Venkataraman

This collection of humorous essays explores such quirky topics as disastrous home repairs, ("A Trip to the Hardware Store"), an unfortunate dinner party ("Dinner is Served"), the truth about lazy people ("Lazy Bones"), the weird life of a debt collector ("Your Account is Past Due") and obsessions with gadgets ("Gadget Girl"). You'll also learn how surreal the aging process is ("Where Did the Time Go?"), why you shouldn't judge a person by their job ("Beyond Belief"), and how to complicate simple transactions ("High Finance"). Like the author's first book of essays, I'm Not Talking About You, Of Course..., these essays will give your spirit a lift and leave you smiling. This is the large print edition of A Trip to the Hardware Store And Other Calamities, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
