In a helter-skelter world, it is nice to have a soothing voice. In this offbeat collection of clever, concise humor pieces, Matt Gordon provides an easy-going antidote to the hectic pace of life. Whether it is featuring the ludicrous nature of online communication, a surprise marital rollerblading misadventure, or the battle between the author and a local Walmart greeter, The Monkeys of God will challenge readers to slow down, to look around, and, mostly, to laugh. Recommended (by the author) for those who like the works of any of the following people: The Beatles; Leonardo da Vinci; Edgar Allan Poe; J.K. Rowling; David Sedaris; William Shakespeare; Jay Z and/or Beyonce; Stephen Spielberg; CS Lewis; Coldplay; Ernest Hemingway; Socrates, Plato, and the Gang; Dave Barry; Any Country Music Star Ever; Poets; any of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America; or any other really famous person--past or present--you happen to appreciate. If you like any of that, you'll love this.
