SynopsisWhat is a typical guy moment, anyhow? Daniel Pinkwater remembers thedisappointment of meeting his Lone Star Ranger hero up close and personal. Gordon Korman relishes the goofy ultra violence of the old Looney Tunes cartoons. Stephen King realizes that having your two hundred- pound babysitter fart on your five-year-old head prepares you for any literary criticism. And that's just a sampling from Guys Write for Guys Read, a fast-paced, high energy collection of short works: stories, essays, columns, cartoons, anecdotes, and artwork by today's most popular writers and illustrators. Guys Write will feature work from Brian Jacques, Jerry Spinelli, Chris Crutcher, Mo Willems, Chris Van Allsburg, Matt Groening, Neil Gaiman, the editors and columnists from Sports Illustrated,The Onion and Esquire magazines, and more. Selected by voters at the Guys Read Web site and compiled by Jon Scieszka, this wide-ranging collection of authors and illustrators shows that guys do read . . . and will read more if given things they enjoy reading., There's Something for Every Guy in this rich collection of stories, minimemoirs, advice, poems, comics, and drawings. Chosen by readers on the Guys Read Web site, contributors include world-famous writers, illustrators, and editors of such boy-favorite publications as Sports Illustrated, Esquire, and The Onion. Here is an irresistibly readable book, filled with defining guy moments-funny, sad, triumphant, or humiliating. Who says guys don't read? They will, if they can read the writers they love!
