Clothing Optional: And Other Ways to Read These Stories

Great book, easy read and priced right. Enjoyed the various story lines in each chapter.

Warm, touching, funny and beautifully written

a funny guy, an almost funny collecton. give it a try...you might get a few more giggles than i did.

Humor is never an easy thing to pull off on a consistent basis. Zweibel succeeds most of the time, which is high praise. His wry, self-deprecating humor, clearly tinged by his New York Jewish background, contains elements of Nora Ephron and Woody Allen. But Zweibel is less afraid to move in the direction of the sentimental without fear of becoming too maudlin. The sketch about the varieties of Catskills comics -- there are six species, the "unknown," the "semi-name, the "name" and so on -- had me laughing out loud. And the one with the former New York Met player, long retired, and his encounter with an unusual baseball fan was poignant, if a bit long. Lots of good stories here.

This is a collection of the author's articles and stories. I have long wanted a copy of it. Mr. Zweibel is a wonderful writer. His dialogs are hilarious. Mr. Zweibel is a comedy writing legend and his book is wonderful.

Yes, A very funny book.
