Editorial Review
Tom Bodett, Alaska’s main comic export, is that rarest of commodities, an original new talent in American humor. His commentaries on “All Things Considered” and his radio spots for Motel 6 have delighted millions, but he’s never been funnier than in this, his second collection of casual essays. Here are further musings ont he everyday joys and embarrassments of being a husband, father, citizen, and breadwinner by the author of As Far As You Can Go Without a Passport. Fans will be comforted by the familiarity of this return visit to Bodett country. Those new to his work will discover one of the freshest, friendliest voices among writers of humor today.

No comfort in small comforts 
2007-11-04
After being introduced to Tom Bodett's work through the Norman Tuttle book, I looked forward to another set of his stories. I think I picked the wrong volume. Small Comforts was a big disappointment. I understand that it was a series of essays, but I still looked for, and found no consistency from one to the other. With few exceptions, these essays were not interesting nor enlightening. If you've never read Tom Bodett, I suggest you start with a different book. I'll give him another shot, but he's on thin ice with this one.
Short Essays 
2006-11-12
This book is a collection of short essays by audiocolumnist Tom Bodett. The essays range from tools and how to use them, to fathering and environmentalism. Some are humorous, others intended in a more serious vein. The essays were originally written in the late 1980s, so a few of them are dated by now, but others are timeless.

This is one of those books I buy for friends all over the world with instructions: If you want to have a riotous laugh, read Tom Bodett's stories. He is at once poignant and hilarious.
