Paperback. Condizione: Good. PRAISE FOR Dumb Dumb Dumb.Dumb Dumb Dumb gives the reader an insight into Mary Jo Pehl's remarkable mother-a woman of many contradictions. A voracious reader who kept ratings and synopses of everything she read. A taste for the pragmatic and macabre, she doesn't suffer romance and I found that delightful.

It offers so much in the way of attitudes towards life and a kick ass reading list not to mention many laugh out loud moments seen thru Ms. Pehl's endearing wit.-Laraine Newman, Founding member of The Groundlings and OG SNLLet's face it. Everybody's mother is a piece of work. But in this often hilarious book, Mary Jo Pehl has done the impossible: figured out a way to honor her mother's tireless efforts as a compulsive reader by creating a portrait of her using the hundreds of short and often terse book reviews she left behind.

Summer was garage sale season. This was when my mother would pour over the newspaper ads and seasonal listings under the heading Garage Sale. The folded paper on her lap, my mother drove the station wagon full of us kids, sans seatbelts, cruising neighborhoods and looking for handmade signs weaving us through Circle Pines, and sometimes, excitingly, neighboring suburbs. My mother's job was to drive slowly past the sales. It was our job to eyeball the sale from the back seat and report whether it was worth stopping for. It was nerve-racking, and I got nervous every time I had to make the call.
