Ilustration Supposing Books They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?

I grew up listening to my Dad and brothers read McManus stories aloud to the family. I didn't always get the jokes, but I loved all the silly antics. As an adult, I married into a family that has a lot of outdoors men in it. I was surprised to find that none of them had read any McManus, although I guess part of the reason is that none of them are big into reading at all.
Anyway, I started looking around, trying to find some of the books to give to these men as gifts. That was when I discovered that McManus books can be difficult to find, except used from places like Amazon.
As such, whenever I have found a copy of one at a thrift store I've snatched it up just in case.
That is how I acquired this book, and even though I'm not super big into hunting or fishing myself, I do love camping and decided I'd read through it until the occasion arrived when I might give it away.
It definitely gave me a good chuckle and brought back many memories.
It was kind of funny to read them from an adult perspective and be able to get all the jokes.
I would highly recommend them to any outdoors man.

Piece Epithetical Books They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?
Not my style of humor. This author just did not clik for me.

Too funny! I kept getting into a coughing fit with many of these stories.

Seriously cracks me up. There were a couple good stories (The Green Box, the B Western, Tenner Shoes) but Journal of an Expedition was Freaking Hilarious. Hip flask, snow shoes, a toboggan and three friends on a winter hike ... what a wonderful combination!!!

This is a book of a collection of short works by the author. The stories are about every day life of a person who loves being outdoors. They have a humorous tone to them.

I almost wrote this only halfway into the book itself, so confident was I that Mr. McManus would stay consistently funny until the very end...and he didn't let me down.He writes about his outdoors woodsman experiences, many of which he recalled with considerable inaccuracy, from his childhood.He's hilarious.I'm not a camper, hunter or fisherman. This should be credentials enough to prove that the subject matter is not near and deer to my hart, but I still enjoyed Mr. McManus' comedic

Huntin' and fishin' humor. My first try at McManus, and likely the last. I've read or skimmed a third of this slender collection, and really haven't liked any of them, though there are moments.I'll let it sit a few days & try again. Maybe.Or not. It came due; No loss, SFAICT.
