Garrison Keillor

If you read nothing else by Garrison Keillor, at least read the "99 Theses" footnote in his book Lake Wobegon Days. If you discover that you too appreciate the glory of meandering, Midwestern Lutheran humor, then you can branch out to the rest of his books, his radio show on NPR, or (if you happen to be filthy rich) one of his live performances.

Note: Rarely has a man's voice so perfectly matched his sense of humor.

Aftertaste:
None.

Availability:
