Return of the Portable Curmudgeon by Jon Winokur This sequel to The Portable Curmudgeon is organized just like the first. There is a new and improved list of World Class Curmudgeons (3 pages this time). Lots of new quotes, organized by subject. The interviews and biographies include: Frank Zappa, Oscar Wilde, Dave Barry, and Carrie Fisher. There is no index, but that is just minor when you've spent a day of fun reading this book.
