Lanterns and Lances : Review

this book is actually to old an prolific to really give it a review.  I think this is Thurber’s last work before he died (citation needed), and he just kind of meanders his way through the english language letter by letter. Plays with words from a-z like an aggravated albatross aggressively accosted a agregate architechterul apostle.  That stuff is just for kicks, he ’s a lot better at it than me

He then  goes into the same problems and complaints about the mainstream media (hes talking about when radio was popular), that I have, only in a time far away.  Thurber has been referred to having ‘a good handle on the whole man / woman relationship’ (again citation needed), and goes into that very to well to the point that may offend some of the brighter female readers.

All of the word play is done cleverly and one thing he can’t stress  enough is the proper use of english, grammar, pronunciation  and the lackthereof in today’s (yesterdays, 50years ago) society.  If he thought it was  bad back then, he should see some of the crap that people publish on their blogs.  but i tell u this cause im better then the rest and can dont need silly confounds of apostrophes, asteriks and anecdotes.

So brush up on your language arts and social skills by reading the work of the great James Thurber. Check your local libraries.
