The Great Indoors: Favorites, 1987-1996 (Wisconsin)
Editorial Reviews

"[The Great Indoors is] the most consistently funny column in Cleveland . . . maybe even America"
Book Description
Certain classic elements make a humor column irresistible. Workplace humiliation, weird food, rotten vacations, cats getting rubdowns, sex machines, raging self-delusion, enraged babies, at-risk squirrels, and of course pitiful date fantasies with Madonna and Katarina WittÑpure catnip to the modern reader. At least, that is, if you judge by the regular readers of Eric BroderÕs "The Great Indoors" newspaper column.
Since 1987, Eric Broder has been captivating and even astonishing readers of ClevelandÕs alternative weeklies (the Free Times and the Edition) with just such intimate and rarely believable details from his own remarkable life.
And he has done it with remarkable style. In fact, BroderÕs writing style has been said to recall an unholy combination of Dave Barry, Barry White, Dr. Laura, Super Joe Charboneau, Walt Disney, and former Pittsburgh Steeler linebacker Jack Lambert.
This book, which collects the very best of BroderÕs columns from the period 1987Ð1996, is a treasure sure to be cherished throughout the first years of the next millennium. Or at least to be left in the bathroom until it gets too mildewed to pick up. Either way, it will change your life.
