Modern Life & Other True Stories Thomas "Sonny" Garrett

Does modern life leave you confused? Are you often bewildered by technology? Is your cell phone smarter than you? Did you ever think you'd see the word zombie in an actual news story? Do you remember the Great Winter Bread Panic of '13? Have you ever wondered what prompted a prehistoric man to eat the first oyster? Do you turn up the brightness of your TV, but the shows don't get smarter? Then this is the book for you. Do you like true stories about stupid criminals? Are you entertained by drunken monkeys? Are you a fan of the strange, the unusual, the odd? Then this is the book for you, too. Thomas "Sonny" Garrett spent nearly four decades as a newspaperman. This is his third collection of his weekly column, "Odds & Ends," and includes selections from his collection of "True Stories," those little news stories about strange and weird events of everyday life. Previous books include "A View from the Hills" and "Just Another Day in Paradise."
