Here for the holidays: Andy Rooney's cogent and comical observations on modern life, hailed by Bob Schieffer as "one of the funniest, wisest books I have ever read." Every Sunday evening, millions of viewers tune in to 60 Minutes to hear Andy Rooney riff on everything from coffee percolators to the state of the union. Why? Because Rooney tells it like it is. There are plenty of things that are plain wrong about America and somebody's got to point them out. Shouldn't a family of four be able to afford a night at the baseball stadium? Shouldn't storeowners wait until after Thanksgiving to hang the Santa decorations? And do they really need all those flavors at the ice-cream store? What happened to plain old chocolate? The musings on matters on great and small; the humor; and the short-take style reflect Andy Rooney at his best, doing the kind of riffs he is loved for. Out of My Mind is vintage Rooney--acerbic, teasing, witty, and wise.
