No books make me laugh more or harder than the Hard Luck Hank series.
In this one Hank is getting married. To an out-of-work actress.
She’s a Damakan. As a species they are capable of “broadcast empathy.” Their acting skills are so powerful they are able to make people believe their portrayals are literally happening—even over remote transmission.
This book mocks actors and a whole lot more.
I was happy to buy and download the audio version of …
Escapist entertainment, I enjoyed both.
Clooney and pals having fun. Matt Damon’s role is amusing.

Thanks Warren.
Long overdue for a visit, I was happy to get off the bike for a week in the gorgeous North Idaho lake country.
Since my last visit the Adlards built Garage-mahal, bigger than their log home. Plenty of storage. 🙂
I happened to arrive just prior to final inspection for the Adlard’s new restaurant.
I tried to make myself useful with last minute details.
At one point I was trimming Astroturf with scissors so the patio door would self-close.
Lack of expertise slowed me down as did non-stop libation from one of the best wine cellars in the State.
As everything Adlard, Candle in the Woods is a class act. Plenty of attention to detail.
I was honoured to be one of the guests on soft-opening night. Thrilled to see Chef David Adlard achieve his dream.
On the weekend following Lisa took me out to her parent’s place where we enjoyed great conversation and fun on the lake.
I tagged along too for the Spokane concert with Steve Martin and Martin Short. Hilarious.
Finally, I was a LIVE guest on The Adventure Podcast. Always a treat.
I doubt any human has had life easier than me — a white, male, heterosexual Canadian born 1957.
Talk about privilege.
Any man calling himself victim to the women’s rights movement is an idiot. And a snowflake. 😀

Ho Ho Ho.

I love Hank. He’s so dumb. The books so smart.
The audio book narrator Liam Owen is perfect.
Book 5 mocks professional sport. In Hank’s universe by far the most popular spectator spectacle is Super Class Glocken. The rules are hilariously bizarre. Players of different weight classes must carry or throw heavy weights across the goal line … trying not to get killed by defenders.
It’s brilliant.
Like many fans I was sad when the book ended. So read it twice!
The author, Steven Campbell, has published book 6. And is working on book 7.
Sadly being one of my favourite authors doesn’t pay enough to make a living. He’s trying to fund Hard Luck Hank via Patreon.
