Rating:  - Humor of the Times
For those who enjoy the classic wit of the 30s and 40s this is a truly fun read. It's a shame we don't seem to have any folks with the intellect and pithy observations of our society we once had. I highly recommend this book as throwback to those times.
Rating:  - Not quite what i expected
I was hoping for something a little more substantial from the description of this book, which turned out to be a slim volume at best. I was searching for some compendium of the Algonquin wits, and this was I'm afraid, about it! It is not without some merit, however dissappointing the selections are (small snippets - more anecdotal than anything else - representing the range of most of the members of the Round Table). It does offer a decent over-view of the prime members of the club with some literary tastes of their various and varying works. The playwrights are not that well represented, but some of the lesser know news reporters are. An appetizer waiting for a delicious feast to be compiled someday.
