A fast read. Too bad

I'm only half way through this gem and I find myself thinking "don't read it too fast, man. You don't want it to end."Rushin meshes sports and americana like well, gretzky and messier, pippen and jordan, torville and dean (okay, that's taking it too far.)A must read for people with a pulse.
IN THIS BOOK I ALMOST DIED FROM LAUGHING!

Rushin is second on my list of best wrighters,Rushin is the second best sports writer, and the best comedian. I could have sworn I saw him walking down the steets of New York with writer Franz Lidz. I knew this by the "About the Author" page. I ran home told my wife and kids, now mykids are the popularest kids in school. Horray, for Steve Rushin!!
The Best Road Book Since Euricledes' Appian Way
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Steve Rushin writes in a fever, like a sports-mad monologist trying to get in the last word with himself. His style has the heat and bite of great gossip, and his thinking makes it literature. Rushin's prose has a breezy, confidential rhythm that pulls us right into his head. A scary thought, that, but a richly rewarding one.

Steve Rushin is the funniest sportswriter ever, and the fourth funniest travel writer. I haven't stopped laughing since I picked up this book. I can't wait to actually read it.
