In a long line of books about wrestling with age comes journalist/comedian/everyman Dave Barry’s latest, titled I’ll Mature When I’m Dead: Dave Barry’s Amazing Tales of Adulthood. Could it be true? Could the Pulitzer Prize–winning humor columnist, who still plays in rock bands, doesn’t believe in God and talks like a pirate, actually feel the need to join the ranks of the normal grownup world? Hardly. Even though Barry ceased writing his column in 2004—causing the economy to tank, he likes to joke—he’s still a child at heart, pondering the simple things. Why do men leave the toilet seat up? Why do women have so many shoes? How can we keep the dog from crapping on the sofa? These deep insights and more are explored when Barry does the reading-from and signing-to thing on Tuesday, May 11, at Book Passage. 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera. 7pm. Free. 415. 927.0960.Gabe Meline
