Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry takes aim at the U.S. history textbook in Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States (1989). It’s a funny-at-first, then ultimately tiresome book. Barry’s humor is better in small doses. He won the Pulitzer for his columns in the Miami Herald, not for any of his books. I suggest treating it like a textbook you are not required to finish completely. Just read a few of the parts that interest you then set it aside.
