New: Book Report: Portuguese Irregular Verbs

I posted a new travelog on this site, but I don't think it turned out very well. So I'm not going to link to it from here. I won't take the time to point out stuff I've done that doesn't read well. Instead, I'll point out someone else's stuff that doesn't read well. That will be much more satisfying.

Wow, Portuguese Irregular Verbs stunk on ice.

I made it three chapters into this book before gave up. I think they were supposed to be funny? The premise: there are three professors who lack common sense. One of them is very self-important. They get into trouble.

Ah, I feel better now.

Wow, are you wrong! This new series by Alexander McCall Smith is enormously funny, esp. when you get to vol. 2, "The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs." True, some of the story line either borders or crosses the line of being outrageous, yet McCall Smith somehow makes it work in a way that probably no other writer could.
