Farm and country life is ... different ... and that is beautifully, and often humorously described in Dear County Agent Guy: Calf Pulling, Husband Training, and Other Curious Dispatches from a Midwestern Dairy Farmer, by Jerry Nelson. Wonderful short essays on winter, chores, calving, parenthood ... I quite enjoyed this book. The one when the farms were give 'real addresses' was a hoot! Lutefisk still does not sound appealing. ;-)

People who work with the public are often the recipient of a funny or unusual quesion, request or demand. Gina Sheridan has gathered up a collection of those in a specific job in I Work at a Public Library: a Collection of Crazy Stores -- from the Stacks --. I loved that the chapters were divided by Dewey Decimals numbers! A quick read, some good chuckles.
