Book Recommendation: Talk to the Hand: The Utter Bloody Rudeness of the World Today, or Six Good Reasons to Stay Home and Bolt the Door by Lynne Truss.

I greatly enjoyed Truss’s best-selling book on punctuation, “Eats, Shoots and Leaves,” so when I saw this I grabbed it. It was not disappointing. I will be giving four copies for Christmas. Her rant against rudeness is highly entertaining and right on point.  Every chapter reminded me of some incident that I am still annoyed about, but the perpetrators have forgotten. Her point is that it is so easy to be considerate of others, but few bother to do so today. I recommend you give this book to your literate, older children. She is very amusing in her scolding, so it’s an easy read.
