Posted: Sat Jul 05, 2008 1:05 pm Post subject: Shakespeare, My Butt!
For those of you are looking for a humorous Summer read, I recommend you have a look at 'Shakespeare My Butt' by John Donoghue, or as you may be more familiar, our very own Marsupial from the forum!
John may be too modest to blow his own trumpet, but it IS an extremely funny read involving a gorgeous black lab and the meanderings of his highly amusing (and possibly a little eccentric) owner and has had me giggling my head off at the various digressions which populate the pages.
It is available on Amazon and through John's website www.marsupialelvis.com and perfect for those labrador lovers in need of a llighthearted belly laugh!!
I`ve not finished the book yet (takes me an age as I only read before bed) but what I`ve read so far has had me laughing out loud in parts and i have to be careful as friend is usually in her room listening to a talking book
I've recently finished reading my copy - this book is brilliant, very funny and i would definitely recommend it For those of you that have read the book, have a look on John's website (www.marsupialelvis.com) at the photos of the funny place names
Just looked at the website, it looks brill, my holiday in 2 weeks will it come in time or is your book on sale at any well known bookshops John?
Think I am going to enjoy it, reminds me of some acts I have seen at the comedy club, Daniel Kitson, though he had a routine it didn't come across that way he was on stage for over 2 hours just talking.
By the way John I'm married to an ex rockape !!!!!
I've been really delighted by the support of everyone at Labrador forums
I'll be updating the site soon...so if anyone wants to PM me with the bits that made them laugh, I'd be really pleased and I'll try and put them up as extracts on my site.
...and Brinnsmum... I know the book is on the recommended favourites section in Borders and most Waterstones in the North East / Yorkshire, but not sure if they are in the shops further afield.
They will certainly be able to order it for you at the very least, or Amazon have it in stock...or if you have PayPal, you can order (a signed copy) direct from my site.
Your ex Rockape will hopefully like the military humour ...but because he is an ex Rockape, you might have to read it to him
Just a joke... as an ex Rockape, he's probably bigger than me!
..and Anglea...delighted the book raised some funds for such a good cause! What did they think of the little dedication inside?
