  • O’Rourke
  • offers
  • some
  • useful
  • advice
  • about
  • housekeeping—or
  • how
  • best
  • to
  • avoid
  • it—in
  • this
  • priceless
  • guide.
  • For
  • example:
  • “Every
  • month
  • or
  • so,
  • take
  • the
  • curtains
  • down—and
  • throw
  • them
  • away.”In
  • the
  • inimitable
  • and
  • irreverent
  • style
  • that
  • has
  • made
  • him
  • one
  • of
  • America’s
  • most
  • popular
  • humorists,
  • O’Rourke
  • provides

  • essential
  • guide
  • to
  • the
  • practical
  • business
  • of
  • living
  • in
  • the
  • modern

  • and
  • proves
  • that
  • “Camus
  • had
  • it
  • all
  • wrong
  • about
  • the
  • myth
  • of
  • Sisyphus—it’s
  • not
  • symbolic
  • of

  • just
  • housekeeping.”“To
  • say
  • that
  • P.
  • J.
  • O’Rourke
  • is
  • funny
  • is
  • like
  • saying
  • that
  • the
  • Rocky
  • Mountains
  • are
  • scenic—accurate
  • but
  • insufficient.”
