Fresh Lies

Fresh Lies/James Lileks 292 pg.

Before he decided to delight us with such gems as "Interior Desecration" and the "Gallery of Regrettable Food", our hero was a humor columnist in Washington D.C. This collection of some of his work had more "great" than "average" samples. This book was published in 1995 so it was fun to read about a presidential trip and the Bush in question was H.W. In that essay, he talks about the fact that almost HALF the reporters on the trip had cell phones. Gee, 1995 seems so much like yesterday but I guess that is just nostalgia talking. Overall great fun. -Christa
