FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY
Here is another great and funny book from Mr. Buckley. Are these real life situations or just possibilities ? Just like his father, Christopher finds the right tone and the right sense of humor to make fun of our politicians. Mr. Buckley please keep writing and ...
  
  











  



  
Boomsday
Christopher Buckley

Savage satire on Social Security
Baby Boomers are defined as people (particularly Americans) born between 1946 and 1964, an era when post-WWII and Depression optimism would result in an unusually high amount of births. As of this writing, the oldest Baby Boomers are turning 62 and beginning to ...

God Is My Broker: A Monk-Tycoon Reveals the 7 1/2 Laws of Spiritual and Financial Growth
Christopher Buckley, John Tierney, ...

Harper Perennial, 1999

Ignore the bleating of sheep!
If you're at this site, then chances are you're sort of sick of business books. Probably, that's a kind way of saying it. Seeing another book by Stephen Covey or some other idiot spouting out laws, truths, and platitudes in big print, wide-margined, brightly colored ...
  
  











  



  
Wet Work
Christopher Buckley

Knopf, 1991

Imagine a cross between Tom Clancy and Tom McGuane

Supreme Courtship
Christopher Buckley

Twelve, 2008

Intelligent, informed & irreverent - political satire at its best
In his latest novel, Christopher Buckley trains his trademark "outside insider's insight" on the Supreme Court to parody the political and personal undercurrents shaping how the Court works. The result is political satire at its best - a fun house mirror image of the ...
  
  











  



  
Little Green Men: A Novel
Christopher Buckley, Random House Inc.

Harper Perennial, 2000

Good God! Is Buckley the Greatest living writer?!
Reading this book is literally stunning. If there were any justice, the hacks ought to abandon their work (or at least rewrite it through a few times) before they sling it out the door- looking at James Patterson and Dan Brown. The prose on every page is so ...
  
  











  



  
No Way to Treat a First Lady: A Novel
Christopher Buckley

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2003

Funny, funny novel
Buckley really gets how Washington works, or doesn't. As a fed, I just howl with laughter. He skewers all the pompous and wrong headed people who try to run this country. Moreover, he knows how to tell a good and entertaining story.
  
  











  



  
Florence of Arabia: A Novel
Christopher Buckley

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2005

Superb Satire!
I picked up 'Florence of Arabia' because of an interest in Middle East politics and because I was a big fan of the 'Thank You for Smoking' Movie. I have since read several of this author's works. The thing about Chrisopher Buckley that is so appealing, in my ...
  
  











  



  
Succession Planting for Year-Round Pleasure
Christopher Lloyd

Timber Press, Incorporated, 2005

Unattainable Beauty!
Succession Planting for Year-round Pleasure is a fantastic book by Christopher Lloyd, who has previously written quite a few, which are also excellent. The photos are among the most beautiful I have ever seen, and I give this book my highest honors. But perhaps it ...
  
  











  



  
Wry Martinis
Christopher Buckley

Harper Perennial, 1998

Someone wicked this way comes.
I found a good illustration of Christopher Buckley's sense of humor while reading of one of the ocean crossings that he had taken with his Father. Buckley the Elder routinely sailed an ocean every 5 years or so, and his Son was often part of the crew. All the ship's ...

The quintissential American cocktail, in all it's glory.
This beautiful "coffee table" style book is dedicated to that most beautiful and perfect of cocktails, the inestimable martini. Conrad's informative text, colorful anecdotes, and lavish illustrations make this book a wonderful addition to the great miracle it ...

The New Yorker Book of Money Cartoons

Bloomberg Press, 1999

"Three wishes less commission." -- the good fairy
I first discovered The New Yorker when I was a teenager. When I saw how many people subscribed to the magazine, I started asking people why they did. Inevitably, the answer was, "For the cartoons." Since then, I have come to realize that The New Yorker is like the ...
