false 389548 6 What is a typical guy moment, anyhow? Daniel Pinkwater remembers the disappointment 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. 3168672 21 4 2005 Guys Write for Guys Read total:161|5:58|4:61|3:33|2:8|1:1| 161 650 261 46 5 0 false false Thu Sep 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 13 19:21:06 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 20:44:15 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jun 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 12:49:47 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 23:06:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 true false Mon Sep 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 20:09:58 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 20:12:23 -0700 2008 once is enough 4 1 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 07:46:27 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 07:52:06 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Feb 09 09:33:01 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 24 10:07:36 -0800 2009 I read this at first intending to suggest it as a sampler so kids could get a taste of all these author's work.
