Review: I won't try to outdo Caroline's excellent review ,but to echo that I enjoyed this little book. When I bought my copy it was one of a set of 3 little books in a slipcase. The others were"Word Power",see my review ,Jul.,14 ,2004 and "Quotable Quotes"
Sept.,11,2004.;both of which I rated 5*s
This little light set would be a great gift for someone who just wants a little bit of relaxed reading to fill a bit of time.I'll be passing mine along to a shut-in at the first opportunity.

Summary: A truly enjoyable reading experience!
Review: A mailman who was delivering mail to a new resident of a surburban home took
off in a hurry upon hearing the "friendly" woman call out to him, "Come on in honey,
and take your pants off!" The woman mistakenly thought that the mailman was her five-
year-old son returning from school. She discovered the truth when she went outside
looking for her son and discovered the mail scattered about the front scoop! This embarrassing but funny tale is a 1983 excerpt from Reader's Digest's most
popular department and new book, "Life In These United States®." The first collection
of Life In These United States® was published in Reader's Digest in March of 1943.
Over the years, the department has become almost synonymous with the magazine, being
one of the first sections that readers turn to first. Now, Reader's Digest has assembled
some of the department's best selections from the past fifty years into the book, "Life In
These United States®." Inside the book you'll find true stories from people all across
America; funny, heartwarming, inspiring tales that will make you smile and think about
how we look at ourselves and the world around us. Although the contributors of the tales
come from different backgrounds and cultures, the stories that they share are ones that
we've all experienced (or are glad that we haven't!). Pick up a copy of "Life In These United States®," put your feet up, and get ready to
spend an enjoyable hour or two reading! I know that I'll now chuckle every time that I
see the mailman! Caroline Kent
