Joe Dungan

L. A. Nuts, a collection of humorous columns written by Joe Dungan, isn't just for those from L.A, the "Land of Fruits and Nuts."The first several stories found me laughing so hard that tears were running down my face. Dungan not only writes with humor and a sharp wit, but there are also some very insightful comments.

Dungan is a native of Los Angeles and has been a writer and editor for over a decade. This collection of short pieces started as a blog in which Dungan ranted against his neighbors and became a regular column for thesimon.com. http://www.thesimon.com/magazine/articles/la_nuts_archives_la_news.html In October 2009 Dungan was awarded First Place in the Writer's Digest Self-Published Book awards for humor for L.A. Nuts.

I could relate to almost all of the stories. Some of this is due to frequent moves around the country, so I've had many different neighbors over the years. Part of this is from recently living in a state bordering CA and experiencing how the natives felt about anyone from California. (My husband actually had a car side-swiped by a car from the opposite direction. That was also a hit and run.) And part of my understanding is due to renting rather than buying for the past several years. (We've very recently experienced the joys of living in rented place where upkeep was a theory and even more recently discovered the joys of neighbors who are, quite frankly stupid, and didn't think you'd be trying to sleep at 2:30 A.M. wondering "Exactly when can we party?")

He needs to write another book soon. I need to know the further adventures of Clyde Langtry. Highly Recommended; http://shetreadssoftly.blogspot.com/
