Stories from the Vinyl Cafe

Rating:
Summary: Great stories about marriage
Review: I loved this book. I've had it on my shelf for months and I wish I would have cracked it open sooner if I had known how funny it was. Keep this one in your purse, these little 5 page stories about life, family and marriage will make standing in line so much more enjoyable. I'll never look at blood pressure machine in the pharmacy without laughing again.

Summary: I could have died laughing
Review: I was tootaling along in my car listening for the first time to an audio tape of Stuart McLean reading his Stories from the Vinyl Cafe. I almost ran off the road because I was laughing so hard.

Every time I hear the story of the jock strap I start to howl all over again. And so it is with so many of his stories.

I want to send the tapes to my children and friends and particularly, my enemies. I am sure they will not think so badly of someone who sent them such merriment.[...]

Summary: Comedically Touching
Review: I'll admit it, this was the first book by Stuart McLean that I had ever read, and I never put it down. Each short story was a twist of new comedic surprise. What I liked most about this collection of short stories, is that each one stems from the last. I also enjoyed reading about a Canadian family, and about thier hectic lifes in rural Ottawa. I immidiatly beagn reading Home from the Vynil Cafe, by Stuart McLean, after I had finished Stories from the Vynil Cafe. The only draw back I can find with this book, is that it is simply too short! I was devestated when my page turner had no more pages to turn.
