Highly recommended...

I love to read Ask Marilyn. This book has 311 pages of questions and answers from her column over the years.
This book is broken up into 5 parts:
1) The Pleasure and Pain of being Human
2) Politics and the Press
3) Nature at Work and at Play
4) Thinking about Thinking
5) Questions that need no Answers
(with a chapter 35 "The Funniest Questions)

The first four parts were very interesting and usually consisted of seriuos questions or observations from external readers and Marilyn's response to those questions (and sometimes with a short explanation to you the reader of the book concerning the Q and A to help clarify). Absoulutely enjoyable.

Part 5 "Questions that need no Answers", Chapter 35 The Funniest Questions was worth the price of the book alone. All of the book was enjoyable, but the best was saved for last. This last chapter will have you falling out of your chair laughing, period. No matter how crusty you may be.

I repeat - Highly recommended.
