Movie Favorite Watch

"I’m a really big fan, but I also like the combination of action and a little bit of humor and the storyline. I’m a fan of that film just from a pure escapist entertainment perspective. Nothing to do with the overall themes of human nature or people surviving as a human race. None of that. It’s just fun. It’s just a fun movie."

Jamie Lee Curtis recommended Go, Dog. Go! in Books (curated)

"Go Dog, Go is the first book I remember reading. There is a non sequitur in this book of opposites; up, down, in, out, big, small that makes me laugh out loud every time I read it. ""Do you like my hat?” injected in this book of opposites, solidified my particular sense of humor and drew me to comedy my whole life."

The Ginger Man

J.P. Donleavy | 1997 | Contemporary, Fiction & Poetry, Humor & Comedy

Book Favorite

"One of those books that you read as a young man and become intoxicated with, yet it is a book to be savored over the course of a life. It was written with great mischief and humor, but full of empathy for the outsider struggling to imagine a purpose in this world. Donleavy is a writer who will be dearly missed."

Movie Favorite

"This has got to be the most wonderful film about that transitional period that groups of close friends in young adulthood must go through as they accept more and more the responsibilities of maturity. There is so much spontaneous camaraderie, natural humor, truth, and, finally, Chekhovian sadness in this gentle masterpiece. Plus, those Italian slackers sure know how to dress!"

Book Favorite

"Yes, he’s my son and, yes, that reeks of nepotism, but please bear in mind that the novel was just nominated for an Edgar Allan Poe Award for best mystery novel by an American author. What makes it special, in my opinion, is a hefty dose of something that’s been largely missing from crime fiction since Donald Westlake passed away: rib-splitting humor."
